A Muslim woman is suing a Tennessee sheriff after his employees allegedly forced her to remove her hijab to take a mug shot.
Johnston, a devout Muslim, relented. She took off the headscarf in front of five men — an “indignity” that has “scarred her emotionally,” the lawsuit states.. “I can’t show these people that they broke me, because I felt in that point, that’s what they wanted me to do.”
“Citizens have the right to practice their religion without unreasonable governmental interference,” Johnston’s attorney, Daniel Horwitz, wrote in a statement to The Post. Johnston was released from the Rutherford County jail around 1:30 a.m. on Aug. 23, about four hours after her arrest in Mt. Juliet, Horwitz said in a statement.
