A Muslim woman who claims she was forced to remove her hijab in front of male jailers while taking a booking photo has received a $120,000 settlement.
Aida Shyef Al-Kadi was so humiliated by the actions of Ramsey County jail officers that she studied law at a library and filed a federal lawsuit representing herself.A Muslim woman who says she was forced to remove her hijab in front of male jailers while taking a booking photo has received a $120,000 settlement from a Minnesota county, her attorneys said.
She says she missed a court date for the offense in June 2013 because she had to take her daughter to the hospital for an emergency. A judge issued a warrant for her arrest soon after. “They did it in such a way that was a humiliation, tossing the sheet to me as they yanked my hijab off,” Al-Kadi said Tuesday.
“I don’t have any experience [with law],” Al-Kadi said. “I just was desperate, I really wanted it to happen. I felt like letting it go would not really be justice, there’s other women who would probably have the same issue I had, so it was very important to me.”Pro Se Project.
