- Title
CRIMINALIZATION OF THE BURKINI.
- Authors
JUNG, CINDY
- Abstract
The author discusses the criminalization of the burkini by the French police as part of its attempt to combat Islamic radicalism, focusing on the hardline defense by several mayors of the burkini ban despite a ruling by the Conseil d'État or Council of State against the ban. She mentions the lack of legitimacy of the argument supporting the burkini ban similar to the logic outlawing any article of clothing that prevents proper identification, preventing Muslims to practice their religion.
