However the plot thickens. A teacher is appealing to the Prosecutor’s Office for permission to wear a headscarf.

Aida Dekebaeva, a geography teacher in Taldy-Kurghan was told by the principal of the school not to wear a hijab, after the school adopted a new dress code. Dekebaeva is waiting for the General Prosecutor to reply to her letter but she says she is ready for “a long-term fight”.
