France's Burkini Ban Overturned as Suits Pose No Risk to Peace, Order - Court
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in August, the municipal authorities in about 30 French coastal cities on the French Riviera, including Nice, prohibited the burkini over safety concerns.

"Now everyone's responsibility is to find appeasement which is the only way to evade disruption of public order and consolidate the community," Cazeneuve said in a statement.

On Thursday, France's Human Rights League launched an appeal against the ban imposed by the authorities of Villeneuve-Loubet, one of the first municipalities to prohibit burkinis, in the Council of State.
