The law to outlaw face coverings in France has passed only the lower house of parliament, the National Assembly, it has yet to pass through France's upper house - the Senate, it will probably go before them and be passed in September.

However, it then would have its final hurdle by being reviewed by France's constitutional watchdog. It could be deemed unconstitutional and thrown out. If it does eventually become law it will probably be challenged in the European Court and somehow I think the humans rights lawyers will win that one.
