WorldAzerbaijan sees rare protests over school hijab ban

A new government ban on hijabs in Azerbaijani schools has triggered rare public protests. It bars clothing considered incompatible with secular principles in general education; although Islamic hijabs are not named, girls and teachers wearing them have been turned away. The move has stirred tensions in a country whose population is 96% Muslim.
