Hartford , Connecticut - Arab Today
A Muslim businessman and his wife are suing a Connecticut yacht club on allegations club board members rejected their membership application because of their religion and falsely claimed they supported terrorism.
Kamran Farid, a cofounder the fruit bouquet business Edible Arrangements, and his wife, Kara, sued the Pine Orchard Yacht & Country Club in Branford in state Superior Court in August, alleging discrimination, racism and bigotry.
They’re seeking a court order for the club to stop discriminating, undisclosed damages and a suspension of the club’s permit to sell alcohol.
Officials at the club deny the allegations, according to Farid’s lawyer, Chris Nelson. Officials at the club and the club’s lawyer, William Murrary, did not return phone and e-mail messages seeking comment Tuesday.
