In addition, anyone found to be violating the MDLBEAST Code of Conduct or Anti-Harassment Policy will face immediate removal from the event site without refund and will be referred to the authorities for legal recourse, and many more," the statement said.

The "R & R" program efforts are particularly focused on ensuring that every person can enjoy the event without fear of harassment or unwanted approach or contact. As the inappropriate behavior will be taken seriously whether direct or indirect such as written and verbal blackmails; all threat forms; contempt; discriminatory languages; any comment directed with intent to harm or insult; direct and indirect physical assault; and all forms of racism and harassment.
MDLBEAST has a zero-tolerance policy, as it is committed to provide a positive, harassment-free experience for all people in the MDLBEAST community, participants and staff, regardless of gender, ability, physical appearance, race, customs, age and religion.
In its anti-harassment campaign, R & R, MDLBeast has issued a list of illustrative information about the harassment, its types, and ways to act properly in case it occurs to anyone and many more, which aimed at education, prevention, and support resources.
MDLBeast statement pointed out that a team of internationally renowned subject matter experts has begun coordinating with local resources to implement wide-reaching anti-harassment initiatives, dedicated to creating a safer, more respectful music and entertainment experience for every attendee.
The R & R campaign expects everyone to respect MDLBEAST zero-tolerance policy on harassment, as well each other's gender, race, beliefs, opinions, and boundaries, in addition to respecting the desire for everyone to enjoy events without fear of harassment.
Meanwhile, the campaign confirmed that everyone should reset to protect themselves by reporting the harassment and take a stand, protecting others by being an active bystander and stand up to harassment of others, as well as to reset the views on harassment as it is never acceptable under any circumstance.
