#1 The Telegraph reports first arrests made.

On Saturday police arrested 59 people, including 19 veiled women, who turned up for a banned protest in Paris against the draconian new law, the first of its kind to be enforced in Europe.

Earlier, French police said they will be enforcing the countrys new burka ban "extremely cautiously" because of fears of provoking violence.

They fear Muslims extremists will use the law to provoke fights with officers, while rich visitors from countries like Saudi Arabia will also cause trouble.

Mr. Wife commented once about flying home after business trips to Saudi Arabia, as soon as the airline pilot announced that they'd left Saudi airspace the black abayas trooped back to the bathrooms, emerging one by one as highly fashionable, Western-style females. On inbound trips the process reversed. There's no reason to think that rich Saudi women wouldn't readily comply with the no-niqab law.
