MP Zeina Jiballah confirmed that she did not submit a bill in Parliament to impose the hijab on women in public sector jobs. She emphasised that the rumours circulating in the past hours and the claims attributed to her are completely false.
In a radio statement, Jiballah pointed out that it is impossible today to legislate any law that would set Tunisia back or infringe on women’s rights and freedoms in general.
She also said that the purpose behind spreading such false news is not innocent but rather an attempt to inflame tensions, according to her remarks.
