Boycott over Brunei’s Syariah-based penal code
The Beverly Hills Hotel became a major target of a boycott after Brunei began introducing a Syariah-based penal code and announced later provisions that drew international condemnation. Critics focused on the ownership connection to the Sultan of Brunei and objected particularly to proposed penalties affecting LGBT people and women. Celebrities, activists, and organizations called for boycotts, while some events associated with the hotel were canceled or relocated.
