Group protests court’s headscarf decision

Nearly 40 women from the Association for Free Thought and Education Rights, who gathered in front of the Sirkeci Post Office, unfurled banners reading "European court cannot legitimize the headscarf ban" and "We aren’t begging for the right, but we are resisting."

A group of male members of the association also supported the demonstration, in which some women participated with their children. Association Chairman Hulya Sekerci criticized the court and claimed the decision was not just.
