Al-Jazeera Anchors Quit Over Dress Code
Five female news anchors at the Al-Jazeera television network have quit their jobs after being criticized for their on-air appearance.
Joumana Nammour, Lina Zahr al-Din, Jullinar Mousa, Luna al-Shibl, and Nawfar Afli said the Arab network made "offensive remarks" about them wearing pant suits and make-up, and for not covering their hair.
Al-Jazeera told the UK Daily Mail they enforce a dress code that reflects their "spirit and principles."
Critics of the network accuse it of being an outlet for Islamic extremists.
