Global Desk: Kazakhstan has country that has banned individuals from wearing clothes covering the faces in public places.
According to latest law any clothing that interferes with facial recognition will be prohibited in public places in Kazakhstan. Although, the new rule is exempted under certain conditions like medical purposes, adverse weather conditions, sporting and cultural events, reports a local media organization in Kazakhstan.
Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev stated that it was important to popularize the national clothes that emphasised its ethnic identity, rather than wearing face concealing black robes.
With this Kazakhstan has become the latest Muslim majority country to have banned such clothing in public places. It is not the first country to do so in the Central Asia region. Other countries like Uzbekistan and Tajikistan have also passed similar laws in the past.
This development raises a critical question—does the ban also extend to garments like the burqa and hijab, which many regard as essential expressions of Islamic faith and fashion?
