Kbibech noted that a few days ago a woman was fined on a beach in Cannes while wearing a simple headscarf - which is not included in the ban - and accompanied by her children. She said she felt she had been targeted "purely for being Muslim" and was also racially abused by fellow beachgoers. The CFCM said it was also worried about the photos that have emerged of a Muslim woman removing her tunic on a beach in Nice while surrounded by four armed police officers. "We have seen images of police officers forcing a woman on a Nice beach to remove her tunic when she wasn't even wearing a burqini," said the statement from the CFCM.
