Court Overturns Burkini Ban in France
A French court stopped a ban on burkinis on beaches in Mandelieu-la-Napoule. The court said the ban was not a good reason. This follows a previous court decision about swimwear and religion.
The Tribunal Administratif de Nice, a French court, made the decision. The ban was issued by the mayor of Mandelieu-la-Napoule on July 1st. The court found there was no proof that the ban was needed to stop problems. This ruling comes after a previous decision by France’s highest administrative court. The local government had previously banned full-body swimwear at beaches.
