The Tajikistan authorities have imposed a legislative ban on wearing hijabs and Arabic clothing in the country, as well as on keeping beards.
This information was published by the "Nuz.uz" portal citing local sources.
It was noted that such types of clothing and external appearance attributes do not correspond to the national traditions of the country, and special attention will be paid to banning the import of clothing interpreted as "alien to Tajik culture" into the country.
According to the information, these measures are aimed at combating religious radicalism and extremism. Representatives of local authorities are conducting awareness-raising work among the population on this issue.//Qafqazinfo
