"City to pay woman's fine"
for breach of burka ban
25 August 2005
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BRUSSELS — In the Limburg city of Maaseik the first fine for wearing an Islamic burka has been issued.
Police booked a young woman of Moroccan origin three weeks ago for wearing the all-concealing Islamic veil, newspaper 'De Standaard' reported on Thursday.
The woman will now be required to pay a EUR 125 fine, Maaseik Mayor Jan Creemers said on Wednesday.
Ironically, the city will probably end up paying the fine because the woman is receiving social security payments from the OCMW benefits office."
