A fight because she does not want to wear the veil: the complaint of a 14-year-old

She would have been attacked several times by her family because she did not want to wear the veil. This is what a 14-year-old girl from Bangladesh reported to the carabinieri in Ostia.

The young woman accused her mother and brother of assaulting her on several occasions. Not only that: she was also threatened with being sent back to Bangladesh.

After yet another quarrel, the girl turned to the carabinieri on Saturday afternoon, saying that she was beaten by her brother. Treated in the hospital where she went with obvious scratches on her face, she was diagnosed with a mild head injury. He is now in a secure facility.

The carabinieri sent an information notice to the Prosecutor's Office for Minors.

THE REACTIONS - "An unworthy story" was defined by the leader of the Brothers of Italy Giorgia Meloni. "And this is just one of the many cases that, on a daily basis, involve young people who are abused by their parents by virtue of fundamentalist dictates." "It is unacceptable - continued Meloni -: in our country there is no room for those who are unable to respect our culture and civilization. My solidarity with the young woman, now fortunately a guest of a protected structure ".

In the same vein, Senator of the League William De Vecchis: "Such dramatic episodes are intolerable for a democracy like ours which in its founding law, the Constitution, provides for respect for diversity, different opinions and religious choice. Now space for the judiciary. which will shed light on the contours of a still unclear story and, if established, that the guilty pay for their responsibilities; however, it must be said clearly that Islamist religious fanaticism is incompatible with our national community, already marked by distressing past events sadly to the news ".

For the deputy of the Lega Benedetta Fiorini it is "the umpteenth chapter in a series of events that we too often see". “It is unacceptable - he added - that similar acts of incivility may occur in our country. There is a need to review integration policies that have proved unsuccessful and invest in greater security. We never want to see cases like that of poor Saman again. "
