14-DAY COUNTDOWN! WESLEY GIRLS DRAGGED TO RESPOND TO RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION CLAIMS.
The Supreme Court told Wesley Girls’ Senior High School to officially react to claims that it stops Muslim students from practicing their religion. This is the main issue in a lawsuit made by private lawyer Shafic Osman. The school was given 14 days by the Court on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, to respond to the true claims. This will allow the case to be decided. Since Wesley Girls was founded by the Methodist Church, Mr. Osman says that the school’s rules make it illegal for Muslim students to do religious things like fasting and praying and force them to take part in Methodist religious events. He says that this behavior is wrong because it violates people’s rights and treats people differently because of their religion. The Attorney-General asked to remove and change an earlier Statement of Case during Tuesday’s meeting. The Supreme Court, led by Justice Gabriel Scott Pawmang, agreed to the change, but the bench was worried that the new statement didn’t answer the main true claims. So, the Court said that the first defendant, the Board of Governors of Wesley Girls’ School, had to answer the charges directly. The group made it clear that reports that the school stops Muslim students from following their religion are very serious. Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, who is the deputy attorney general, did not object to the order. She said that the revised Statement of Case was mostly about the constitutional framework for judging claimed limits on religious rights. Wesley Girls’ Senior High School has to make a statement within 14 days of being served. The statement must explain its religion practices and any limits it has on Muslim students, if any.
