Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] An endocrinologist at one of the Khasavyurt clinics recorded a video in which she apologized to a patient wearing a niqab. The doctor explained that a misunderstanding arose between her and the girl, as a result of which she decided that she was denied medical care because of her religious clothing.
As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, on June 25, the head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, stated that he was against wearing a niqab, since it is clothing alien to Caucasian traditions. Radical sentiments are increasing in society, and in modern realities it has become more difficult to identify extremists, Melikov noted, commenting on the terrorist attacks in Derbent and Makhachkala.
On June 23, Trinity Day, which is one of the main Christian holidays, militants attacked synagogues and an Orthodox church in Derbent and Makhachkala. The attacks were the first armed incidents in Dagestan in more than a year.
A video of a doctor from Khasavyurt apologizing to a patient in a niqab was published on June 28 on the social network VKontakte in the public group "Voice of Dagestan". The description of the video says that the doctor allegedly refused to see the girl in religious clothing because she refused to take off her niqab.
"I am an endocrinologist," the doctor said.
According to her, the patient was not denied help, but on the contrary, emergency assistance was offered out of turn. A misunderstanding arose between the doctor and the patient. “[This misunderstanding] is also unpleasant for me, for which I apologize. I treat all people and all religions with full respect,” the doctor said.
This post in the public “Voice of Dagestan”, which has more than 197,000 subscribers, received more than 63,000 views and 803 comments as of 12.00 Moscow time. Some of their authors criticized the doctor, while the other part came out in her support.
Let us recall that earlier State Duma Deputy Speaker Vladislav Davankov proposed giving educational institutions the right to ban the wearing of religious clothing, as well as giving the right to legislative and municipal assemblies to introduce a ban on wearing religious clothing in public places. State Duma deputies from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Mikhail Matveev and Sergei Obukhov also prepared a bill that would introduce fines for wearing clothing that hides the face in public places.
After Davankov's proposal to ban the wearing of religious clothing, State Duma deputy from Chechnya Adam Delimkhanov criticized him. He promised to "clearly" explain to Davankov and others what "religious traditional values and customs" are.
