(Dutch News) Eindhoven cinema LAB-1 has stopped selling tickets for a controversial Indian film because its staff are being harassed.
The cinema has been showing The Kerala Story, about radical Muslim women, for the past two weeks but, a spokesman told broadcaster NOS, cinema staff are being threatened via social media and through phone calls.
“The messages are becoming more intimidating and threatening and when staff were approached personally, we decided enough was enough,” the spokesman said.
The sale of tickets for Sunday’s showing has been stopped and all reference to the film removed from the website. The cinema has not made a formal police complaint but has reported the intimidation, NOS said.
