I apologise as I cannot remember where I read it, but I do recall something in the media regarding the accused woman who appeared in court covering her face. (Just typing that sentence, I cannot help but think 'lunacy)!
I read that she didn't usually wear the veil, she had facebook pictures up of her with her face exposed, and was not known to wear it usually in day to day life.

I'll see if I can find information on that, but I'm not sure I read it online.

As far as I know there is still a majority vote for the banning of the burkha/niqab/veil but it varies a LOT depending on generations of voters ,and political parties. It has declined very slightly in the last few years. I don't know-consequences of covering one's face do vary according to situation, and things could likely get messy if the government had to differentiate between situations where it is acceptable, and where it is not.

It makes me feel uneasy if I see somebody in a public place with their face covered-be it by a hoodie/balaclava/snood or Burkha. It could be melodramatic to feel that way and it isn't an overwhelming feeling, but still, it's there.
