Nice temporarily lifts a ban on wearing the burkini on the beaches

The court of Nice has temporarily lifted the previously imposed ban on the wearing on the beaches of the city burkini – a swimming costume for Muslim women that completely covers the body, reports Blagovest-Info.

"Excitement and anxiety due to the terrorist attacks, one of which occurred on 14 July in nice, are not a sufficient reason to recognize the legitimacy of the ban," reads the court's decision.

Nice was one of the first French cities banned the wearing of the burkini on the beach.

Earlier, the French Council of state lifted the ban on wearing the burkini on the beach in Villeneuve-Loubet.
