Several hundred demonstrators outside the New York Times to protest Kristof column

My restaurant might get shut down by authorities. Reason - not selling Halal food For years, we’ve worked hard to build our restaurant. We are now facing ongoing harassment, nuisances outside the restaurant, and repeated complaints to the local council aimed at shutting us down and threatening to revoke our premises licence. We believe this pressure is connected to our decision not to remove our “Non-Halal” sign. No business owner should face intimidation or coordinated attempts to destroy their livelihood because of their beliefs, values, or business choices. To everyone who has supported us, thank you.
