In July 2010, the National Assembly in France passed Loi Interdisant La Dissimulation Du Visage Dans L'espace Public, (Act Prohibiting Concealment of the Face in Public Space). This act outlawed the wearing of clothing that covers one's face in any public space.[37][38] Violators of the ban on veils and coverings are liable to fines of up to 150 Euros and mandatory classes on French citizenship.[39] Anyone found to have forced a woman to wear a religious covering faces up to two years in prison as well as a 60,000 Euro fine.[39]
