Woman in Burqa Refused Entrance to Dutch Performance

November 10 2010

A woman wearing a burqa was refused entrance to a performance by Moroccan comic Anuar in the Dutch city Boekelo. The theatre had initially publicized a promotion in which the first ten women wearing burqas to the performance would be granted free entrance. Three women attended the performance in burqas- while two removed the garments when requested the third refused and was consequently denied admission. The theatre claims that she was denied entrance because of her behavior, not her dress.
