Evidence

In March 2017, right-wing politicians across Europe welcomed a ruling by the EU’s highest court which allowed companies to effectively ban employees from wearing visible religious symbols, including hijabs. In its first decision on the issue of women wearing Islamic headscarves in the workplace, the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg had ruled that religious garments could be banned; but only as part of a general policy barring all religious and political symbols. — Arsalan Iftikhar, Fear of a Muslim Planet_ Global…, 458 (#qualifies, via linked claim)
