French police make woman remove clothing on Nice beach following burkini ban
[Guardian] Authorities in 15 towns have banned burkinis, citing public concern following recent terrorist attacks in the country.Photographs have emerged of armed French police confronting a woman on a beach and making her remove some of her clothing as part of a controversial ban on the burkini. Authorities in several French towns have implemented bans on the burkini, which covers the body and head, citing concerns about religious clothing in the wake of recent terrorist killings in the country. The images of police confronting the woman in Nice on Tuesday show at least four police officers standing over a woman who was resting on the shore at the town's Promenade des Anglais, the scene of last month's Bastille Day lorry attack. After they arrive, she appears to remove a blue long-sleeved tunic, although one of the officers appears to take notes or issue an on-the-spot fine. The photographs emerged as a mother of two also told on Tuesday how she had been fined on the beach in nearby Cannes wearing leggings, a tunic and a headscarf. Her ticket, seen by French news agency AFP, read that she was not wearing "an outfit respecting good morals and secularism". Prudent measures I'd say. Why wait until one of these burkini clad arseholes blows up and kills a dozen or so beach goers.
