A Muslim woman has won a discrimination case in Sweden after she was rejected during a job interview for refusing to shake the hand of the interviewer.
Farah Alhajeh, 24, had been invited to interview for a job as an interpreter in Uppsala, north of Stockholm in May, 2016.
Upon arrival she told the male interviewer that she did not want to shake his hand, citing religious rules of her faith.
