Egyptian MP withdraws draft law on niqab ban after angry response.
WHERE'S MUMMY? OR AUNTIE? OR MAYBE UNCLE?!!
CAIRO: An Egyptian MP has withdrawn a draft law to ban women wearing the
niqab in public places after the proposal sparked a wave of anger.
Ghada Agamy said the face veil had become a source of sedition in Egyptian society when she introduced the plan last week.
The draft law proposed that all women would be prohibited from wearing the niqab in public places.
She suggested a fine of 1,000 Egyptia.
