London protesters challenge French burkini bans

📅 25 August 2016 📍 United Kingdom

Protesters gathered in London against French beach restrictions targeting clothing associated with Muslim women. Their action brought a dispute over women’s dress into transnational public solidarity. Human Rights Watch’s account includes a dated photograph of this demonstration. The protest defended freedom and equal treatment; it did not itself suspend a municipal order or substitute for the following day’s French court decision.
