Utrecht coffee should have allowed diabetic customers with their own cola

A cafe in Utrecht discriminated against a diabetic patient by denying him access. This is the opinion of the College of Human Rights. The man who had a can of Coca-Cola had to be admitted.

The man wanted to take coca with him because it contains exactly the right amount of sugar he does not like. The coffee pointed out to him that the personal consumption according to the rules of the house is forbidden. Even after the man showed his insulin syringe and the statement of a doctor, he was not allowed to enter.

The Institute now finds that coffee discriminated against man because he could not do anything else because of his illness. "That means there was no better solution for this gentleman than cola cans, so they had to let them go," says college spokeswoman Renee Tuijnman against RTV Utrecht [19659004]. that everyone can now bring their own drinks, because only in this particular case was there discrimination. "It may be that in another case a different adaptation is conceivable, so there is no immediate discrimination when someone is refused with a small can of kola."
