Stars boycott Hollywood hotel over Brunei 'Sharia'
Stars of Hollywood are boycotting one of the area's most famous hotels because of a harsh Islamic penal code introduced by Brunei's government.
Comedians Jay Leno and Ellen DeGeneres are among the celebrities supporting the boycott against the Beverly Hills Hotel and other hotels owned by Brunei.
After a heated debate, the city council unanimously voted to condemn Brunei.
Brunei's leader, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, announced the first phase of the new penalties last week.
