Amnesty International has accused France of violating international human rights law by banning women from wearing hijabs at the Summer Olympics in Paris. In September last year, France's sports minister told French athletes that religious symbols, including headscarves, would be banned during events.

Amnesty International, an international human rights organization, called on the Indian government to stop the illegal destruction of Muslim properties and to prosecute the company that manufactures the JCB bulldozers used in these processes.
