Gatineau police have charged a man for allegedly beating his teenage daughter over the course of more than a year because she refused to wear a hijab.
The 35-year-old father is facing one count each of assault, assault with a weapon and uttering death threats, police said in a news release Thursday.
In what police described as a case of so-called "honour-based" violence, the father began the series of assaults upon learning his daughter had removed her head covering when she left the family home.
