France's highest administrative court is set to make a preliminary decision on whether to temporarily uphold -- or suspend -- local beach bans on the Burkini, an all-body women's swimsuit that's at the center of a wider discussion over immigration, Islamophobia and security. Mana Rabiee reports.
Former president of France Nicolas Sarkozy demanded a ban on the full-bodied swimsuit, nicknamed a 'burkini,' which he called a provocation to the French, as he held the first meeting for his presidential campaign, in Chateaurenard, Thursday.
The French Burkini ban has been suspended in the southern town of Villeneuve-Loubet, near Nice. Was it the pressure from social media that caused the French court to react?
