Maryam Pougetoux, leader of a student union at Paris' Sorbonne University, is the latest victim of Islamophobic hate after appearing in a documentary ... in a hijab.



In it, the 19-year-old student talked about the ongoing student protests in France. She was met with immense hate online - not for her views, but merely because she wears the hijab.

France's interior minister, Gerard Collomb, was among those who criticized the student's appearance, referring to Pougetoux's choice of attire as a "provocation," according to BBC.

Marlene Schiappa, the country's Equality Minister, called it a "form of promotion of political Islam."
