Turkey's Constitutional Court re-imposes ban on Muslim headscarf at universities

Such a project envisaging the suppression of one faction of the ruling class in favour of another requires a much more authoritarian regime. This process poses a great danger to the working class and other oppressed layers of the population.

Hasim Kilic, the chairman of the Constitutional Court, told reporters in Ankara that the judges deliberately decided not to give any details of the ruling and that this information would be made available only with the publication of the decision. He justified this by saying, The speculation about our Court in recent months has saddened us, and therefore we decided to announce the ruling in this way .... So we are not going to give any information on the details of the ruling until the text of the decision is released.

According to the statement issued by the court, the constitutional amendment package was an attempt to change non-amendable articles of the Turkish Constitution. The statement reads, The law of February 9 enacting constitutional amendments to lift a ban on the headscarf at universities has been cancelled based on the Constitutions articles 2, 4 and 148. The execution of the law has been stopped.
