France burkini ban: 'Fined for wearing my hijab'

Available for over a year

A top French court is being asked to overturn bans imposed by 26 towns on women wearing full-body swimsuits known as "burkinis" on the beach. Siam, 34, a mother and a former air hostess, was recently fined by police in Cannes for wearing leggings, a tunic and a headscarf on the beach. She describes how the incident made her feel 'like a stranger' in her own country. (Photo: Women on the beach. Credit: Getting Images)
