Veiled woman taken away by police officers in Paris


An unidentified veiled woman is taken away by plain clothed and uniformed police officers, flanked by a friend, center right, in Paris Monday, April 11, 2011. France's new ban on Islamic face veils was met with a burst of defiance Monday, as several women appeared veiled in front of Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral and two were detained for taking part in an unauthorized protest. France on Monday became the world's first country to ban the veils anywhere in public. (AP Photo/Michel Euler)
