An Austrian court has found it legal for an animal rights protester to wear a cow mask despite a ban on face coverings, in a freedom of expression decision hailed by activists. The Constitutional Court upheld the protester s complaint against his fine for handing out flyers in support of animal rights while wearing the mask in the town of Baden. The man, named by the Association Against Animal Factories (VGT) as David Richter, had been trying in June 2018 to draw attention to conditions for animals in the dairy industry. A statement from the court dated last week and seen by AFP on Wednesday, said an exception to the ban on full-face coverings should be made in cases where someone is exercising freedom of expression .
