    PM Cameron supports burqa ban in schools, courts, borders
    Credits:
  • Britain's PM David Cameron voiced his support for barring face-covering veils like the burqa from being worn in schools, courts and border checkpoints.

    He said that institutions like courts and border checkpoints were correct in demanding that people keep their faces visible.

    He also said that face-covering burqas were against school uniform policies.

    Cameron, however, rejected blanket-banning the burqa, as done in France.
