Sex workers had their human rights violated by the council ban on strip clubs in Edinburgh, a judge was told.
Lawyers for the union representing the strippers argued their case during a judicial review of the decision at the city's Court of Session on Thursday. The court heard the women were being discriminated against by the closure of their workplaces, which are set to take place in April.
Three of the strippers provided affidavits telling how they would not only lose jobs, but possibly their homes and relationships. Aidan O'Neill KC, representing owners of the capital's four strip clubs, said the council had taken a "No Sex Please We're British approach".
