French court rules company to pay 23,000 euros to Muslim woman fired for refusing to take headscarf off

The court said Asma Bougnaoui had the right to wear the Islamic veil at work, and there weren't any regulations or laws that forbade her from doing so in the private sector.
Despite the decision coming 10 years late, the court also annulled the dismissal, and ordered the computer consulting company Micropole to pay her 23,000 euros in back-pay and damages.
