SWITZERLAND-ISLAM-VOTE
Islamic Central Council of Switzerland (ICCS - CCIS) member Nora Illi, one of the few Swiss women wearing the niqab, distributes flyers against a cantonal vote on banning face-covering headgear in public places, on September 18, 2013 in Lugano. Switzerland’s Italian-speaking region was on course on September 22, 2013 to ban the full-face Islamic veil, projected results from a referendum showed. The Swiss Italian-language broadcaster RSI said a partial count of votes in the canton (state) of Ticino showed that 65 percent of the electorate backed the measure to ban the covering of faces in public areas by any group, including Muslims.
