BANGLE WRANGLE

In brief

A Sikh schoolgirl is suing her school for excluding her for wearing a small religious bangle—despite previous House of Lords’ rulings that Sikh children could wear items representing their faith, including a turban, to school. Human rights group Liberty is acting for 14-year-old Sarika Singh in her action which arose after she was forced to have isolated school lessons for nearly two months before being excluded from the school for wearing the Kara as a sign of her faith. Liberty will argue that the governing body of Aberdare School is breaching the Race Relations Act 1976, the Equality Act 2006 and the Human Rights Act 1998.
