DUBAI: A Lebanese nightclub was shut down on Saturday night after videos surfaced across social media where Qur’anic verses can be heard playing over music during a party, local media reported.
Beirut Governor Judge Ziad Chebib ordered the closure of popular club, The Garten, for “lacking proper registration and promoting material that offends religious beliefs.”
This is not the first nightclub of the same owners to be closed due to indecent acts. Earlier this year, Diskotek was shut after a provocative, sexually-explicit stage performance went viral on social media.
The Garten is a popular open-air venue situated on Beirut’s water front that hosts world-renowned DJs and performers.
