🇨🇭A Muslim woman in Switzerland was fined for wearing a burka in public—and after she appealed the ticket claiming “Islamophobia,” the fine was increased from 100 to 1,000 Swiss francs (~$1,260).

Switzerland has banned full-face veils like the burka and niqab in public spaces since 2021 following a national referendum.

The woman now faces the maximum penalty after challenging the original fine in court.
