Veil-wearer faces penalty for biting policeman

The Local.Fr

An 18-year-old veil-wearing woman faces a penalty for biting a policeman in Marseille during a “mini-riot” that erupted when she was checked for violating France’s dress code.

The prosecutor in the case on Thursday demanded a six-month suspended jail sentence for Louise-Marie Suisse, who appeared in court with a traditional Muslim headscarf, although her face was not covered.

In a case that has attracted national attention, Suisse was checked by two police officers for wearing a  full veil over her head near a mosque in the centre of Marseille on the night of July 25, Le Parisien reported.

French legislation outlaws the wearing of veils that cover the face in public places.

However, Suisse refused to remove the veil, stating that she did not respect the laws of the Republic, nor their authority.

  1. Why a suspended sentence? Let her wear prison clothes for 6 months while living in a cell with other people.

  2. However, Suisse refused to remove the veil, stating that she did not respect the laws of the Republic, nor their authority.

    Then she herself has made herself a non-citizen. Deport her to any Muslim country. If that fails, she can be dropped in Somalia.
