Turkish women attend a protest against the Constitutional Court's verdict regarding headscarves in Ankara June 12, 2008. Turkey's top court annulled a reform last week that would allow students to wear Muslim headscarves at university, a serious blow to the ruling party's efforts to avert being shut down for Islamist activities.
