Hollande Speaks Against Ban on Wearing Burkini, Hijab
French President Francois Hollande said that he considers the ban on wearing burkini swimwear and traditional clothing for Muslim women hijab in France "unacceptable and unconstitutional."
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — French President Francois Hollande spoke on Thursday against a ban on wearing burkini swimwear and traditional clothing for Muslim women hijab in the country.
30 August 2016, 12:45 GMT
When giving a keynote speech, the president said he considered the ban "unacceptable and unconstitutional."
He also said that he believed Islam could adjust to France's secularism.
Earlier this summer, burkinis were banned from municipal beaches in 15 French towns, including Nice that suffered from a terrorist attack in July that killed 84 people. Ban on hijab is a part of a ban on face covering in France that has been in force since 2010.
