Excerpt:
Five men went on trial in Corsica on Thursday over a mass beach brawl on the French Mediterranean island last month that reportedly began after tourists took pictures of Muslim bathers.
The violence in Sisco, in the island's north, left five people injured, prompting the mayor of the village to ban the Islamic burkini swimsuit initially thought to have been at the centre of the row.
Around 100 police were deployed to quell the August 13 clashes between locals and families of North African origin from another part of the island.
