KUALA LUMPUR: Adultery and gay sex in Brunei will be subject to death by stoning from next week, authorities said, under a strict Syariah law that has been on hold for four years amid heavy criticism.
Homosexuality is already illegal in Brunei but it will now become a capital offence. The law only applies to Muslims. "Some of the potential 'offences' should not even be deemed crimes at all, including consensual sex between adults of the same gender." Brunei first announced the measures in 2013 but implementation has been delayed as officials worked out the practical details and in the teeth of opposition by rights groups.
I have always perceived Brunei as a fair minded Islamic nation. The abhorrence of even considering stoning for a so-called moral offence means that I cannot in good conscience see this nation as deserving the title of a civilised country.
With this law, will you ever visit Brunei?
