UK: 'A schoolgirl lost her High Court battle yesterday for the right to wear an Islamic gown in the classroom. Shabina Begum, 15, of Luton, Beds, had argued that she was being denied her "right to education and to manifest her religious beliefs" at Denbigh High School, a 1,000-pupil comprehensive where almost 80 per cent of pupils are Muslim.'
