WASHINGTON — The Council on American-Islamic Relations is urging all local and federal U.S. prisons to adopt more “hijab-friendly’ policies by allowing Muslim women to wear headscarves during their detention and in photos.
“I’m working on several pending cases in different states … and I’m in touch with an attorney for the Department of Justice’s Office of Civil Rights,” Nadhira al-Khalili, legal counsel for CAIR, told Al Arabiya.
According to the executive director of CAIR’s Michigan chapter, Novi recently became the first locality in Michigan to officially adopt the policy.
