“Look at the veiled woman strutting around”: A woman assaulted in the street, her headscarf and hair torn off

A 43-year-old mother, Aziza H., was violently assaulted in Gardanne (Bouches-du-Rhône) on November 25 because of her headscarf. While she was on her way to her physiotherapist, two women followed her, insulted her with racist and Islamophobic remarks, then pinned her to the ground, tearing off her headscarf and part of her hair. The attackers uttered threats such as: “Look at the veiled woman strutting around“, “We should kill her like the Palestinians” and “We should finish her off“.

Aziza H., who is suffering from physical and psychological injuries, has filed a complaint. Her relatives are launching a call for witnesses to shed light on this assault.
