Around 200 Muslim demonstrators gather in Bangkok on Tuesday.<br/> They're here to protest against prejudices they say students who wear headscarves face at a Buddhist school.<br/> The secondary school in Thailand's capital lifted a ban on the headscarves a year ago, but students say they're still being forced by teachers to remove their Hijabs.<br/> The school said they had implemented the ban because classrooms are situated within the grounds of a Buddhist temple.<br/> But the ban was lifted because it didn't adhere to the regulations set out by Thailand's education ministry, which permits students to wear the Hijab.<br/> Travis Brecher, Reuters
