Supreme Court to rule today on wearing a niqab can be worn while testifying:
-
OTTAWA - The Supreme Court of Canada rules thismorning on whether a
Muslim woman can wear a religious veil known as a niqab while
testifying against two men she claims sexually assaulted her when she
was a child.
Due to a publication ban, the Toronto woman can only be identified as N.S.
The woman accuses two relatives of sexually assaulting her over a
four-year period that ended when she reachedthe age of 10.
The two accused claim the Charter of Rights and Freedoms allows them
to confront their accuser and observe her facial expressions as she
testifies.
But the woman's lawyers say facial expressions canbe misleading, and
add that Islamic sexual assaultvictims will be leery about going to
police if they're barred from wearing a niqab while testifying in
court.
In a preliminary hearing in 2008, N.S. said she cannot show her face
to any men who are not close relatives. When the judge ordered her to
remove the niqab, she refused. The case made its way through the
Ontario court system and was heard a year ago by the Supreme Court of
Canada.
