By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

The government said that the ban was imposed in part because students (male and female) were taking exams disguised as others by wearing the face veil. Some three weeks ago, ANSAmed reported that a Cairo administrative tribunal had invalidated the ban on the niqab in exam rooms and university areas. (See prior posting.) It is not clear what the relationship is between the two decisions.
