Azerbaijan urged to lift hijab restrictions
Original: Human rights defenders called on the authorities of Azerbaijan to lift restrictions on hijabs.
Human rights defenders have called on the authorities of Azerbaijan to lift restrictions on wearing the hijab. The appeal, reported by Caucasian Knot, urges Baku to end limits on the Islamic headscarf, an issue that has long been contentious between religious communities and the secular state. Activists argue the restrictions violate freedom of religion and personal choice.
Why now: Human rights groups have publicly pressed Azerbaijan over religious dress restrictions, drawing fresh attention to the issue.
