United States: Muslim woman sues over veiled photo. A Muslim woman has sued the US state of Florida for suspending her driver's licence after she refused to remove her face-covering veil for the photograph. Sultaana Freeman, 34, said she was allowed to wear her veil, which only reveals her eyes, for her licence photo in Illinois and for a Florida license issued in February 2000, reported the Associated Press on 30 January.

State officials demanded Freeman pose without her veil following post-11 September checks of records. Florida law states that licences should bear a full-face photograph, but civil rights lawyer Howard Marks cited another Florida law stating the "government shall not substantially burden a person's exercise of religion."
