UN Experts Call to Annul Hijab Ban in Sports

Several independent UN experts urged France on Monday to annul its ban on the hijab in sports, deeming it "discriminatory." They argued that Muslim girls and women who wear the hijab should have equal rights to participate in cultural and sports activities. The UN experts criticized decisions by French football and basketball federations to exclude hijab-wearing athletes from competitions, calling these measures "disproportionate and discriminatory."
