Bahrain: Indian restaurant shut for denying entry to woman wearing veil

An Indian restaurant in Bahrain was 'sealed' after a manager denied entry to woman wearing veil. The incident took place at the Bahrain Lanterns, located in the Adliya area of the country’s capital Manama. Bahrain news outlets reported that the incident came to the fore after the video of a restaurant staff blocking a veiled woman went viral on social media platforms. Bahrain Tourism and Exhibition Authority has launched a probe and asked all tourism outlets to avoid any policy that violates the laws of the kingdom. "We reject all actions that discriminate against people, especially regarding their national identity," the authorities said. The restaurant has now tendered an apology and suspended the said manager. Watch this video for more details.
