Burkini ban suspended: French court declares law forbidding swimwear worn by Muslim women 'clearly illegal'
France’s highest administrative court has ruled that “burkini bans” being enforced on the country’s beaches
are illegal and a violation of fundamental liberties.
The State Council (Conseil d'Etat) was specifically examining laws brought in by the commune of Villeneuve-Loubet but its verdict sets a legal precedent for France.
In their ruling, three senior judges said the ban “has dealt a serious and clearly illegal blow to fundamental liberties such as the freedom of movement, freedom of conscience and personal liberty.”
