More than 300 Chinese Canadians will reportedly join rallies in Montreal, Canada, on Saturday to protest an 11-year-old Canadian girl’s slander against the Asian community, who falsely claimed that an Asian man cut her hijab as she walked to school.
Khawlah Noman, a sixth-grader living in Toronto, held a news conference at her school on Jan. 12. She accused an Asian man of “pulling off her jacket hood and started cutting the bottom of her hijab.” The girl’s self-claimed suffering made headlines around the world, with politicians and public figures in Canada showing their support for the girl on social media.
