A small group of women who were headed to the beach in Cannes on Friday for a "Toutes en burkini" (all women in burkinis) protest were immediately stopped by police and taken to the station for questioning. The mayor of Cannes had imposed a controversial ban on the full-body swimsuits last year, a decision overturned by the country's highest court.
