Rania El-Alloul, kicked out of Quebec court for wearing hijab, fights back Woman asks court to clarify rules of access for people wearing religious garments
Rania El-Alloul, the Montreal woman who refused to remove her hijab when appearing before a Quebec Court judge, has filed a motion asking the court to clarify the rights of Quebecers to access justice while wearing religious attire.
In February, Judge Eliana Marengo told El-Alloul she would not hear her case unless she removed her hijab.
Marengo compared the Muslim headscarf to a "hat and sunglasses."
