David Lisnard introduced a ban on wearing the burkini (costume covering almost the entire body, are uncovered only the face, hands and feet), arguing its decision concern about public safety. Mer Cannes burkini called “a symbol of Islamic extremism.”
The Regulation entered into force on 28 July. The ban is valid until the end of August. Women dressed in burkini be asked to change into another costume or to leave the beach. If they do not, they will threaten a fine of 38 euros.
In the wake of Cannes on Saturday, authorities went to the neighboring town of Villeneuve-Loubet. Mer Villeneuve-Loubet Lionnel Luca stressed that the ban aims to ensure that the region marked by assassinations does not disturb public order.
– The Republic is not about to come to the beach and clothing to show their religious beliefs, especially that they are false beliefs, because Islam does not require anything in this issue – said the politician the Republicans.
In France where lives the largest Muslim community in Europe, 18 months comes to jihadist attacks, which caused an increase in tension around the followers of Islam.
Burkina in court
Several human rights organizations recognized the burkini ban as discriminatory. On Friday, three women and the Association against Islamophobia in France (CClF) challenged the ban, considering it illegal and demanding it suspend.
On Saturday, an administrative court in Nice rejected these proposals. According to the court regulation it is consistent with the rules on secularism. They prohibit anyone “to his religious beliefs take precedence over the common principles governing relations between public authorities and private persons.”
The judge added that, in the context of current in France a state of emergency and the recent attacks, mainly from July 14 in Nice, “wearing distinctive clothing, other than ordinary swimsuit, can be interpreted as something more than a mere sign of religiosity” .
the lawyer representing CClF Sefen Guez Guez announced that it would appeal the ruling Council of State, the highest French administrative court. In her opinion, the decision on burkini “paves the way for banning all religious symbols in the public space.”
