A pro-Palestinian protester wearing a keffiyeh scarf has been charged with violating a suburban New York City county's new law banning face masks in public. The arrest has revived fears that the statute is being used to diminish free speech rights. The man was arrested during a protest in front of an Orthodox synagogue and was wearing the keffiyeh as a symbol of support for Palestinians. The arrest is the third under the new law.
