Norway hit a beautician with an approximately 1,000-euro fine on Monday after she was indicted segregation for dismissing a Muslim customer wearing a headscarf. Merete Hodne had gambled up to six months in jail for religious segregation for dismissing Malika Bayan from her hair salon in Bryne, a residential area in southwestern Norway, in October a year ago. "The court... has probably the respondent acted purposefully, that she intentionally oppressed Bayan by ousting her from the salon since she is Muslim," the court ruled. It forced a fine of 10,000 kroner (1,075 euros/$1,200) furthermore requested her to pay 5,000 kroner in court costs. Hodne means to request the choice, her legal counselor told news office NTB. The 47-year-old beautician had told the court she saw the headscarf as a political image speaking to a belief system that startles her, as opposed to as a religious image. "I consider it to be a totalitarian image. When I see a hijab, I don't consider religion, however of totalitarian belief systems and administrations," she told the judges, refered to by day by day Verdens Gang. As indicated by the charge sheet, Hodne told Bayan "she would need to discover somewhere else in light of the fact that she didn't acknowledge (customers) like her." The beautician at first declined to pay a fine of 8,000 kroner for religious segregation, and the case consequently went under the watchful eye of the Jaeren region court on Thursday. While Hodne recognized that she could have turned Bayan, 24, away all the more considerately, she precluded the charge from claiming religious separation.
