An Australian law will force Muslim woman to remove their veil upon request by law officials. The new law was proposed by the government of New South Wales and will include Sydney. A woman who refuses to remove her veil and show their face will go to prison. The sentence can be as long as 1 year in jail and fined $5,500 to $5,900. Muslims are fast-growing minorities in Sydney and Melbourne. This law was initiated after a Muslim woman accused a traffic police officer of pulling off her veil and she claimed it was provoked because of racism. The video footage was reviewed and uncovered that she was the one that aggressively berated "Fogerty" the police officer and she refused to show her face.
