@japdmedia26: BAKU, Azerbaijan — Protests have broken out across Azerbaijan after several students and teachers wearing headscarves were denied entry to public schools. The demonstrations follow recent amendments adopted by the Cabinet of Ministers enforcing a secular dress code for state educational institutions. Although the regulations do not explicitly name religious headscarves, reports and videos shared online show young girls being turned away at school gates, triggering student-led class boycotts and demonstrations in locations such as Baku and the Masally district. In response to the restrictions, participating students have chanted slogans and carried banners declaring that headscarves are not an obstacle to learning. Witnesses and parents at the scenes have voiced support for the affected students, arguing that children should not be barred from attending their classrooms. While authorities maintain that the dress regulations protect the constitutional principle of secular public education, the enforcement has sparked public backlash and led to intervention by law enforcement. #Azerbaijan #Baku #Education #Headscarf #japd
