France's highest administrative court today suspended a ban on the Islamic burkini swimsuit brought by a French Riviera town after it was challenged by rights groups.

French mayors are drawing international anger for banning the burkini, an all-encompassing swimsuit worn by a small minority of Muslim women. The Associated Press explains the core of the controversy.

France's highest administrative court will today examine a request to overturn a ban on the burkini after photographs of police surrounding a woman on a beach fuelled the controversy over the Islamic swimsuit.
