A 16-year-old girl, who filed charges against a pair of skinheads for what she said was an Islamophobic attack on August 12, attempted to commit suicide on Monday by jumping from a window in her apartment block.
According to a police report, the girl was assaulted on August 13 in the troubled town of Trappes, 35 kilometres west of Paris. Two men with shaved heads approached the Muslim girl with a “sharp object,” ripped off her headscarf, shouted Islamphobic insults and hit her on the shoulder before fleeing by car, a judicial source told French media.
A frightening attack on a young girl who is now seriously injured.
I actually agree with the ban on wearing full head and face masks as I find that quite threatening but why does anyone feel they can take the law into their own hands, injuring and scaring a young girl to near death. Controversial subject banning the full veil in France, I wonder if it has been taken to the European courts of human rights?
And here is the answer
A human rights challenge to France’s burka ban will be dealt with by a panel of Grand Chamber judges, the European Court of Human Rights has confirmed. May30th 2013
