Several thousand Turkish-Cypriots march through the streets of Nicosia, in the self-proclaimed northern Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) to protest a new regulation allowing students to wear Islamic headscarves in secondary schools, a move critics say threatens the secular character of their community. "This is a religious symbol. A child under the age of 18 cannot make this decision with their own free will, in my opinion," said Dila Ensari, who attended the rally with her mother, a public school teacher. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
