▻http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-23761737
Swedish women have been posting photos of themselves in traditional Muslim headscarves in solidarity with a [pregnant] woman attacked apparently for wearing a veil.
...
The “hijab outcry” campaigners urged the government to “ensure that Swedish Muslim women are guaranteed the right to... religious freedom”.
...
Among the protesters were lawmakers Asa Romson and Veronica Palm, and also TV host Gina Dirawi.
The campaigners said they wanted to draw attention to the “discrimination that affects Muslim women” in Sweden.
“We believe that’s reason enough in a country where the number of reported hate crimes against Muslims is on the rise - and where women tie their headscarves extra tight so that it won’t get ripped off - for the prime minister and other politicians to take action to stop the march of fascism,” they wrote in the Aftonbladet newspaper.
