The reason: shares of these hotels belong to <strong>Hassanal Bolkiah<\/strong>, the head of the <strong>Sultanate of Brunei<\/strong>. He recently introduced the <a href=\"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/death-penalty-for-homosexuals\/\">death penalty by stoning for homosexuals<\/a> in his country. In 2014, after Brunei introduced the Sharia law, stars (including talk show master <strong>Ellen DeGeneres<\/strong>) boycotted the hotels of the Dorchester Collection. George Clooney now names the hotels again and clarifies: If you stay there, Hassanal Bolkiah might get even richer. And so, in consequence, you co-finance the murder of innocent people. The employees of these hotels are not to be blamed. But banks and investors could be hit where it hurts them most: profit.<br \/>\nClooney hopes that the boycott can eventually rid the Sultan of his business relationships. His call for boycott was propagated by pop star <strong>Elton John<\/strong>, among others.<\/p>\n<div class=\"img\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"img\"><span class=\"credit\">\u00a9 Paul Bird \/ CC BY 2.0 \/ wikimedia<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>George Clooney calls for boycotting the hotels of the Dorchester Collection, owned by the Sultan of Brunei. <a href=\"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/george-clooney-calls-for-boycott\/\"><\/p>\n<p><i class=\"showAllLink\">more&#8230;<\/i><\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":10178,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"sfsi_plus_gutenberg_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_show_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_type":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_alignemt":"","sfsi_plus_gutenburg_max_per_row":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10177"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10177"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10177\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10322,"href":"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10177\/revisions\/10322"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartacus.gayguide.travel\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
