SVT Nyheter Skåne has previously told about Maya, one of the students at Prästamosseskolan in Skurup.

After Skurup municipality decided that staff and students in the municipality's primary schools and preschools would not be allowed to wear headscarves, cans, niqabs or similar garments, she chose to wear a veil in protest of the decision.

Repeals decision

The administrative court has now concluded that the ban is contrary to religious freedom and revokes the municipality's decision.

But that does not mean that Maya will take off her veil.

- It has become a part of me, she says.

Maya thinks that the administrative court's ruling is good.

If it is the case that someone is forced from home to wear a veil at school - would not a ban have helped then?

- Yes, but it also forces others who do not want to take off the veil to do so.

Those who are forced may be able to talk to their teachers, says Maya.

Behind the back

Maya says that she has lost many friends and that people at school sometimes talked behind her back about her decision to wear a veil.

But she still thinks it was worth the price.

- Now I know who my friends are, she says.

Maya has chosen not to include her last name.
