The wearing of face-covering Islamic garments by female students is not favored in Russia's North Caucasus republic of Dagestan, but there will be no ban on such veils, Dagestani leader Magomedsalam Magomedov has said.
The statement came after two unknown gunmen killed a Dagestani school principal on July 9, which police said was likely to be revenge for Sadikullah Akhmedov's anti-extremist statements and a ban on face-covering veils introduced at his school.
"We are not introducing any bans [on full-face Islamic veils], but this is not our traditional cloth, and we are not in favor of wearing niqabs at schools and universities," Magomedov said.
