Petition BAN THE WEARING OF A BURKA OR ANY OTHER FACE COVERING DURING ANY COURT PROCEEDINGS

More details

The Burka or any other face covering should not be allowed to be worn in any court proceedings on the grounds of religion or other beliefs.

In the interest of fairness to all witnesses and suspects this should be a vital part of British Law.
