Around 200 Muslim demonstrators gather in Bangkok on Tuesday.
They're here to protest against prejudices they say students who wear headscarves face at a Buddhist school.
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.
The school said they had implemented the ban because classrooms are situated within the grounds of a Buddhist temple.
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.
