French court rejects move to overturn controversial burkini ban on beach
Nice Administrative Court says municipality's decision aimed at preventing disruption of public order
By Esra Taskin
PARIS (AA) - A court in France rejected a request Friday to overturn a controversial burkini ban on beaches in Mandelieu-la-Napoule .
The request by the Human Rights League France was rejected by the Nice Administrative Court on grounds that the municipality's decision was aimed at preventing disruption of public order.
Mandelieu-la-Napoule became the first municipality to ban burkini swimwear on beaches in 2012.
Human Rights League France went to court in June in a bid to overturn the ban.
