(Prague) Somali
Asylum seeker Ayan Yamaal Ahmednuur wasn’t happy when she was banned from
wearing the hijab at Nurse training
college. So much so, she withdrew herself from the school because the ban
prevented her from wearing hijab even during theory lessons, though originally
she agreed with the school on taking her hijab off during the practical
exercises of student nurses only. She said the school didn’t even allow her to
cover her neck during the lessons. She then found a lawyer in which to demand
that a Prague secondary medical school apologise to her and provide financial
compensation of 60,000 crowns (£5.5K/$7.3k).
“that the school, which prepares students for a career in medicine, had to remain a “neutral environment”.,"
Miss Ahmednuur who didn’t attend the court case said she
would be considering taking further legal steps.
