HIJAB IN SWITZERLAND

In case you didn't know: the hijab was a topic of public discussion in Switzerland in the 1990s. The full text of decisions from the Bundesgericht before 2000 is not easily available, however. Take a look also at this article from February in the NZZ on the likelihood of further debates on the topic. The Swiss courts have tended to rule against women who want to wear the hijab while performing official functions. In 1997, the Bundesgericht ruled that "religious neutrality" as well as respect for the rights of children and parents required a primary school teacher to refrain from wearing the hijab in the classroom. See here.

I didn't find the text of the decision, but I did find this page, which has links to selected texts of other significant european decisions concerning religious freedom. Caution: some of the links are broken.
