Sweden: Muslim woman receives $4,000 in damages for having to remove face veil

A 20-year-old Malmö woman has been awarded damages after she was asked to leave a bus for wearing a veil.

The woman has received 25,000 kronor ($4,203) from public bus service operator Arriva after an agreement was reached with the Ombudsman against ethnic discrimination (DO), according to local newspaper Sydsvenskan.
The woman was instructed to leave the bus in the southern Swedish city when she refused to remove the niqab veil that she was wearing as part of her sartorial hijab headdress. The niqab covers the entire face except for eyes.
The bus driver had asked the woman to remove her niqab so that he could identify her, however the woman was using a buss pass that did not require identification.
"The bus driver has not acted according to Arriva's values. There is no doubt where the fault lies and this is most regrettable. We are happy to pay out the money to make up for it," said Jan Wildau at Arriva.

A six foot plus niqab wearer rings a security bell to gain entry to a Jewellers shop......and no one challenges the person.
The thick set person then enters the security conscious premises un-hindered and escapes with £200,000 worth of jewellry

A slightly built women carrying a Bus Pass is challenged to remove her niqab so the driver might be able to recognise her.(the woman was using a buss pass that did not require identification) The women later wins £ 2,135 damages.


Perhaps the Bus driver should be in security and the Jewellers should be in Public transport....(Just a thought)
