Blind Moroccan Artist Allegedly Denied Entry to Casablanca Restaurant, Sparking Outrage
Tuesday 12 February 2019, by
A restaurant in Casablanca denied a customer entry on the grounds that he was blind, at least that’s what the victim claimed. This discrimination has caused an uproar on social media.
In a message posted on Facebook, one of the people accompanying the Moroccan artist Abdelfattah Ngadi thanked the restaurant for this "warm" welcome:
"Today we faced an attitude and behavior that is ridiculous. The restaurant ’Le Tonkin’ refused to receive us because our friend is blind. This is the musician and composer Abdelfattah Ngadi. We were with Abdelhak Tikerouine, one of the pillars of the Nawrass group."
Sensing the controversy growing, the restaurant managers denied these claims, stating that the restaurant refused access to two people accompanying him and not to the artist himself.
