Turned away from a bar for wearing a hijab
Soaliha Iqbal tried to go into a bar in Sydney, Australia when the doorman refused her entry unless she removed her hijab. She said that his actions left her humiliated and outraged.
Since Soaliha posted online about the incident, the bar got in contact with her and said that they βunreservedly apologise" for the "mistakeβ. They said that it was the doormanβs first shift and he βno doubt wanted to impressβ by βcarrying out his duties and responsibilities diligentlyβ to ensure facial recognition. Soaliha says that her face was not obscured and she is wearing a hijab in her ID photo.
