@britishmuslim.tv: Tensions have risen in Azerbaijan over school uniform rules restricting the wearing of hijab in state schools. A video circulating online shows a parent confronting a school official after Muslim girls wearing headscarves were prevented from attending classes. The official cited regulations approved by the country’s Cabinet of Ministers regarding school uniforms. Azerbaijan’s Interior Ministry says 37 people have been detained following protests over the restrictions, with authorities accusing some demonstrators of disturbing public order and confronting school staff. Students have also reportedly boycotted classes in support of affected pupils and teachers. The government says the uniform rules are intended to maintain secular standards and consistency within state schools. Critics argue that the restrictions limit religious expression and create barriers to education for Muslim girls who choose to wear the hijab. #viral #Azerbaijan #School #Parents #Confronted #Officials #Girls #Barred #Hijab #Islam #Muslims #Headscarves #restrict
