Urgent Press Release
The Assembly for the Protection of Hijab
strongly condemns the kidnapping in Iraq of French journalists
Christian Chesnot and Georges Malbrunot. Such actions undermine the
peaceful initiatives taken by groups such as Pro-Hijab to reverse the
Hijab ban in France, and other countries around the world.
“Pro-Hijab strongly urges the kidnappers to release Mr Chesnot and Mr
Malbrunot unharmed and without delay. Religious intolerance should be
tackled using all legal and peaceful means, not such extreme and
illegal measures.” stated Rajnaara Akhtar, Vice-coordinator of
Pro-Hijab.
Pro-Hijab calls on all those taking part in the 4th September
International Hijab Solidarity Day events in over 20 countries around
the world to support journalists and urge the kidnappers to release
them with speed.
