Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal facing possible legal action for entertainment at 18th birthday party

Barcelona star Lamine Yamal could well be facing up to an incoming legal case.

This comes owing to developments at the winger’s 18th birthday party this past weekend.

Youngster Lamine is fresh off celebrating a milestone occasion in his life on Saturday night, a lavish get together in Spain featuring a whole host of high-profile figures from across the globe.

As alluded to above, however, in the aftermath of the party, the Spanish international is facing serious backlash.

As much comes with Lamine having hired people with dwarfism to act as part of the entertainment for his guests.

Word of this development has since reached several organisations who aim to protect those with physical disabilities, including The Association of People with Achondroplasia and Other Skeletal Dysplasias with Dwarfism (ADEE), a member organisation of the Spanish Confederation of People with Physical and Organic Disabilities (COCEMFE).

And as per a report from Goal:

‘ADEE is vowing to take legal and social action against behaviour that they consider to be “intolerable because it perpetuates stereotypes, fuels discrimination, and undermines the image and rights of those with achondroplasia or other skeletal dysplasia, as well as all people with disabilities”.’
