Legal Regulation of Religious Clothing in the Public Sphere in the Czech Republic in Light of the Case of a Muslim Student versus a Secondary School
Abstract
This study examines the issue of religious clothing in public spaces in the Czech Republic. It describes the legal regulation/restriction of this exercise of religious freedom in three areas: photographs on personal documents, face coverings at public assemblies, and religious clothes worn in schools. Regarding the third area, it examines in detail a Muslim student’s case against a medical secondary school. This case shows that the wearing of religious clothing is very loosely regulated in the Czech Republic and is restricted to a few specific areas.
