Şcolile din Austria se deschid cu interdicţia vălului islamic până la vârsta de 14 ani / Musulmanii acuză ”o încălcare a drepturilor fundamentale”

Austria has implemented a ban on wearing Islamic headscarves in schools for girls under 14, starting with the new school year. The government argues this protects girls' freedoms, while the Islamic Community in Austria plans to challenge the law in court, citing violations of fundamental rights. The law, supported by a coalition including far-right parties, was passed last December, despite opposition from the Green Party. The Constitutional Court previously ruled against a similar ban for younger girls, emphasizing the need for state neutrality in religious matters. Schools are required to address non-compliance with the ban, which could result in fines.
