Dozens of cinemas, theatres and other venues in Belgium are defying government orders and reopening their doors Friday to protest the country's ongoing shutdown of cultural activities.

After more than six months without revenue, venue owners say Belgium's ongoing ban on indoor cultural events is proof of "an unacceptable inequality of treatment" their industry has experienced during the coronavirus pandemic.

But Still Standing for Culture said some venues plan to reopen starting Friday while following the health protocols issued by federal authorities to guarantee the safety of artists and attendees.Despite reopening illegally, the venues involved in the collective action will keep receiving aid subsidies. The owners, however, could be fined by police.

The Brussels prosecutor's office announced that anyone breaching COVID-19 restrictions could face charges. In a joint statement, the local government, the city's police department and the prosecutor's office urged potential party-goers to stay away from the event and to respect health measures limiting social gatherings.
