Berlin court to issue ruling on Muslim headscarf

275

A Muslim teacher who has been told she may not wear a headscarf in class is expecting a decision on her case at a Berlin employment tribunal on Wednesday.

The woman issued her complaint with the Berlin state, where a neutrality law bans public service employees from wearing religious symbols.

In 2017, another Muslim teacher won 8,680 euros ($10,300) in compensation in the German capital after arguing that she had been discriminated against because of her headscarf. The court agreed but said it was one-off ruling.
