       https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/17/burqa-ban-bill-approved-by-portugals-parliament-seen-as-targeting-muslim-women*Portugal’s parliament has approved a bill banning face veils worn for "gender or religious" reasons in public, in a move seen as targeting Muslim women who wear face coverings.* This law would be unjust, being an offense against religious freedom, but at least it wouldn't stop people from resisting facial recognition.
