Geneva is passing a law for swimming pools and public baths to ban the wearing of burkinis. However, the new law, which was passed by the right-wing majority in the Grand Council on Thursday evening, does not explicitly mention this clothing.

The new law stipulates that only one- or two-piece swimsuits are permitted in swimming pools, the maximum length of which reaches above the knees and leaves the arms free. This de facto excludes burkinis, as envisaged in a draft law by the SVP that was intended to criminalize this type of clothing.

This fucks up people who have skin conditions like photosensitivity. Great. J’en peut plus avec l’islamophobie.

Trop hâte de voir les flics se ramener avec un mètre pour bien vérifier que le maillot dépasse pas le coude / genou

Mais que fait la police !

PS : Remarque, techniquement, ça arrive juste au-dessus du genou.
