Denmark fined a Turkish tourist for violating the country’s ban on wearing the full-face cover.
Police in Aarhus, western Denmark, said on Tuesday the 48-year-old woman was not aware of Denmark's recent law that makes it unlawful to wear such garments in public.
She was made to pay 1,000 kroner ($155) after she entered a police station to renew her visa wearing the face cover.
The woman paid the fine, removed her cover and walked away, said police. No other details were available.
The much-debated "burqa ban" prohibits garments covering the face, including burqas and niqabs.
Both are rarely seen in Denmark.
