The Xinjiang region of China is home to some 22 million people and according to a 2010 census over 13 million identify as Muslim.
In the city of Urumqi, one of Xinjiang’s largest Muslim cities, the legislature has voted to ban the wearing of Burqas in what they call an “effort to curb growing extremism.”
China’s state news agency Xinhua reports:
The legislature of northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has approved a regulation banning the wearing of the burqa, an Islamic garment that covers women’s faces, in public places in the regional capital of Urumqi.
…
The regional People’s Congress told Xinhua Saturday the regulation will go into effect after being amended. It was drafted by the municipal legislature of Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang, last year.
The regulation is seen as an effort to curb growing extremism that forced Uygur women to abandon their colorful traditional dress and wear black burqas.
Last year, according to a report from CNN, another Xinjiang city passed similar legislation that targeted veils, large bears and Islamic dresses with the start and crescent symbol.
Xinhua notes that wearing Burqas in public places has also been banned in countries like France and Belgium.
