Women's Issues: Liberia's police chief warns against wearing of veils

The Iranian Quran News Agency reports Liberia's Police Director, Munnah Sieh, has warned the public including women from the Islamic faith, against wearing veil when moving on the streets or other public places in the country.

Director Sieh said at this time when terrorism is so high across the world, such a practice will not be tolerated in the country.

Appearing as a live studio guest on the radio talk show 50-50, broadcast on SKY FM Radio, she said if a woman from the Islamic faith has a husband that is jealous for which, they usually wear veils; such a husband should make sure that he has everything in the house for his wife so that she can not get on the street wearing any veil.
