Sri Lanka has barred face veils in the wake of the Easter bombings that killed hundreds of people at churches and high-end hotels.
Explosions erupted at three churches holding Easter services in Colombo, the capital, as well as Batticaloa and Negombo. Blasts also tore through three upscale hotels in Colombo, including some popular among Western tourists, according to Sri Lankan police. A fourth hotel was targeted in a failed attack that day, according to Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe.
At least 46 children were among those killed, with the youngest just 18 months old, according to the United Nations Children's Fund, which cited the Sri Lankan government. The United States sent a team of FBI agents and military officials to help Sri Lankan authorities with the ongoing investigation. Intelligence units from Australia, India, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the International Criminal Police Organization are also assisting.
It’s not mandatory so they should be able to live without it. Muslims leaders in Sri Lanka have already made this point.
