The lower chamber of the German parliament passed a bill prohibiting state servicemen, judges and the military to wear Muslim headdresses niqab and burqa at work.

This is reported by world media.

Headgears that cover the person, contradict the "principle of neutrality", which government employees are obliged to adhere to, is said in the justification of the bill.

The bill also obliges Muslim women to be photographed on documents with an open face. In addition, they will have to open a person on reasonable requirements of law enforcement officials, for example, to verify the identity when checking documents.

Before the bill comes into force, it should be approved by the upper chamber of the German parliament.

Let's remind, more than thousand citizens of Turkey asked for asylum in Germany.
