A COPENHAGEN policewoman is being investigated for embracing a niqab-wearing protester during a demonstration against a ban on face veils, the force's complaints body said on Wednesday.
The incident, in which the protester appeared to be crying, was captured by a Reuters photographer on August 1 when a countrywide ban on the wearing of face veils in public took effect.
''The photo has made the police involuntary actor in a very sensitive political debate which they should not participate in,'' said Marcius Knuth, a lawmaker with the anti-immigrant Liberal Party, which is the biggest in the government. [Agencies].
