Swedish members of parliament on Monday urged women to don headscarves in a show of support after a pregnant woman was harrased in a south Stockholm suburb for wearing a headscarf, Swedish English-language daily The Local reported.

Green Party MP Åsa Romson, Veronica Palm of the Left Party, and comedian and television host Gina Dirawi took to Twitter using the accompanying hashtag #hijabuppropet on Monday to publish images of themselves wearing headscarf, regardless of their religious affiliation.
