A Muslim woman who says she was forced to remove her hijab in front of male jailers while taking a booking photo has received a $120,000 settlement from a Minnesota county, her attorneys said.

Aida Shyef Al-Kadi said Tuesday that she pursued a federal lawsuit against Ramsey County to ensure that no other Muslim woman in her area would be forced to violate their religious beliefs if they ended up in jail.

The 57-year-old said that what she experienced at Ramsey County jail in August 2013 was one of the most humiliating and harmful experiences of my life.

I knew that I did not want any other Muslim woman to experience what I did, Al-Kadi said at a press conference held by Minnesotas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations to announce the settlement.
