(Anadolu) The Swedish Athletic Federation dismissed its swimming federation president due to anti-headscarf criticisms Thursday.
The federation decided Ulla Gustavsson will be removed from office after a meeting.
The federation said it would not discriminate against athletes, nor allow anyone to do it.
The move came after Gustavsson criticized a photograph of an athlete wearing a headscarf in the publication of the athletic federation’s online website.
“Headscarf is a means of pressure on children and a sign of sexuality.”
