Two burquini clad London women were
allegedly verbally abused when they tried to take a dip in a
Sicilian hotel swimming pool in their Islamic bathing costumes
at the weekend, the Giornale di Sicilia newspaper reported
Wednesday.
The pair, aged 19 and 25, were allegedly insulted by two male
hotel guests, both Italian but resident in Germany and
Switzerland, who allegedly mocked their outfits saying "who
knows what you're hiding underneath them".
The manager of the Mangia's Torre del Barone Hotel,
Mauritius-born Keswan Monien, said he had had to step in to
"calm things down".
