Overview
- The Bremen Administrative Court granted a preliminary injunction on March 19 allowing the trainee to wear his Dastar during public-contact duties.
- Judges found no sufficient legal basis for a blanket ban because the police uniform regulation does not address religion-related appearance.
- The court noted that a specific ordinance from the Senator for Interior and Education governing such rules has not been issued.
- The trainee had been confined to internal duties after refusing orders to remove his turban and argued violations of religious, training and professional freedoms.
- The decision restores the suspensive effect of his complaint, and the police may appeal to the Higher Administrative Court within two weeks of notification.
