Human Rights Watch has blasted France’s efforts to ban burqa for violating rights of Muslim women, warning the move could stigmatise the whole Muslim minority in the country. “We are still very concerned that the restrictions will seriously interfere with the rights of Muslim women in France – the right to manifest their religion and the right to personal autonomy,” Judith Sunderland, senior researcher for Western Europe at Human Rights Watch, told the Inter Press Service. She said that any partial or blanket ban on the face-veil would be a violation of basic human rights.
