(Anadolu) A French judge expelled Tunisian-French activist Hager Barkous from a courtroom in Nice last Friday because she was wearing a hijab.
Barkous, 31, had attended the hearing of a fellow activist on trial for incitement to hatred after calling for a boycott of a restaurant whose owners were Zionists.

Speaking to Anadolu, Barkous, who heads the association Friends of Palestine, described the incident as shocking and discriminatory.
“I went to the court to show support and solidarity with my friend. I sat quietly at the back of the room,” she said.
