(Radio France) A restaurant owner in France’s south-west Basque region has been fined 600 euros for refusing entry to [a] woman wearing an Islamic headscarf, and her son.
A court in the city of Bayonne found the 64-year-old restaurant owner, also a woman, guilty of “discrimination based on religion” for demanding the customer remove her veil.
The incident, which was filmed and posted to social media, took place on Mother’s Day on 29 May.
In the video the restaurant owner, who wore a cross around her neck, said she would not accept customers “dressed like in prehistoric times.”
