[国际新闻] 美国当局:回教妇女被要求除头巾拍照不当

美国再次发生回教头巾风波。俄亥俄州两名回教妇女较早前为了申请驾驶执照拍摄照片时,办事处的职员坚持要求她们除下头巾,她们只好就范。当局获悉这宗事件后,立刻跟进,并承认职员的做法不当。7 w, m9 u, K: O) x% F

  33岁的回教妇女巴希尔表示,她是为了宗教原因而戴头巾,但当她为驾驶执照续期时,职员却要求她把头巾除下才拍照。她说,自己当时不想惹麻烦,故此就范。

  亨特表示,事件中没有人受到处分,但当局已向州内216个登记中心发出电邮,向工作人员重申,市民拍摄证件照片时,可以基于宗教及医疗原因而配戴头巾等头部头饰,但这些头饰不能遮盖面部。

  达夫多德指出,要求回教妇女除去头巾,就像要求她们脱去衣服一样。她表示,肯定同类事件过往曾多次发生,州政府这次迅速作出改善和补救,值得赞扬。

  本月初,乔治亚州一名接获超速驾驶告票的回教妇人,到法庭准备抗辩时,因为戴了传统的回教头巾,在庭外遭警员拦截,对方以国土安全理由,拒绝让她进入法庭。伊斯兰关系委员会事后去信乔治亚州首席检察官,要求对方采取保障宗教权利适当行动。
