Following the outrage after Muslim women were ordered to remove their garments on beaches,France's controversial burkini ban has been overturned by the country's highest court of appeal.
The League of Human Rights asked the Council of State to suspend the ruling in the Mediterranean town of Villeneuve-Loubet on the basis that it contravenes civil liberties.
It comes after images of a Muslim Frenchwoman being ordered to remove her burkini by armed police on Nice beach sparked outrage around the world.
The court ruled that the burkini ban "seriously, and clearly illegally, breached the fundamental freedoms to come and go, the freedom of beliefs and individual freedom."
