Re: Muslim Teacher Suspended For Wearing Veil
Azmi acknowledged that she had not worn her veil during an interview for the job, assisting children who speak English as a second language.
An employment tribunal awarded her $1,870 for injury to her feelings following her victimization at the school. However the tribunal panel rejected allegations she had been subjected to direct and indirect discrimination and harassment.
Azmi, wearing a black veil, said at a news conference in Leeds, northern England, that she would appeal against the decision to reject her claims of discrimination and harassment.
"Muslim women who wear the veil are not aliens, and politicians need to recognize that what they say can have a very dangerous impact on the lives of the minorities they treat as outcasts," Azmi said. "Integration requires people like me to be in the workplace so that people can see that we are not to be feared or mistrusted."
