Summary
New Hampshire's highest court has upheld the conviction of three women who were arrested for going topless on a beach in a 3-2 ruling, declaring that the ordinance does not violate their constitutional rights. The women, who are part of the Free the Nipple campaign, were part of a global campaign advocating for the rights of women to go topless and were arrested after refusing to put their tops on when beachgoers complained.
