According to BBC reports on June 21, the French Supreme Administrative Court maintained a ban on the ban on the "Bkkini" swimsuit in the public swimming pool and rejected the appeal of the city of Glero.

Glernibul is a cities in southeast France. Last month, Gellerniberg passed the bill to allow swimmers to wear various types of swimsuits including "Bkkini".

According to reports, Muslim women wearing Bickini believe that this is a way to maintain humility and persistence.

The term "Burkini" comes from the voices of "Bikini" and "Burka". "Bokeni" is a women's swimsuit designed for Muslims. The main feature is that they are wrapped in very tightly from head to toe, only exposing face, hands, and feet. In this way, they can also swim in the public swimming pool when they follow strict religious regulations.

France has strict legal provisions for wearing swimwear in public places, and men usually must wear tight swimming trunks. France's ban on Bickini dates back to 2016. At that time, several local autonomous cities tried to prohibit "Burkini" on the beach.

In addition, it is reported that it is also for sanitary considerations to prohibit wearing Bikini in a public swimming pool.

However, France has been disagreed for a long time to express religious beliefs in public places.

Last month, the Gradori District Court suspended the ban on the "Bkkini" ban on the grounds of severe damage to public services. Since then, the dispute has continued to the French Commission.

The French Minister of Home Affairs Ji Lald Dalmarn said that the policy was "unacceptable provocative" and violated the secular values ​​of France.

France generally believes that politics and religion should be separated strictly, and officials are not allowed to wear religious signs at work. However, the mayor Eric Pionol, the mayor of Geller, believes that places that provide public services like a public swimming pool have the right to freely dress.

The freedom swimwear policy he implemented was not recognized, and the French government quoted a law adopted last year to fight against "Islamic divisionism" to oppose it.

The French Supreme Administrative Court stated that it is not allowed to "meet their religious needs through special cases."

Boky's critics believe that this is a divisionist view of French society, allowing to wear Bikini to put pressure on Muslim women. The leading right -wing leader Marina Le Pen even called Burkini as "the clothing of Islam."

However, supporters said that if women are willing, they have the right to choose whether to cover their bodies, which does not mean religious extremism.
