Legislation banning full-face Muslim veils in public spaces has gone into effect in Austria, BBC reports.
The government says the law, which says faces must be visible from the hairline to the chin, is about protecting Austrian values.
The law bans Muslim veils such as the burka or niqab, but also places restrictions on the use of medical face masks and clown makeup.
