From 3 April, people in the tiny south-east Asian kingdom will be subject to a draconian new penal code based on sharia law

Brunei is to begin imposing death by stoning as a punishment for gay sex and adultery from next week, as part of the country’s highly criticised implementation of sharia law.

We should ban direct flights to these types of places and any tourism business dealings until they decide to join the modern world!

Is that the Sultan? Seize him by the assets and squeeze until he screams.

Totally barbaric!!

Our Refined Oil, natural gas and garments need sourcing from a different country then? I suppose Saudi Arabia might do!

Disgusting. Government should not get to govern a person’s sex life, so long as it’s between consenting adults - they are PERSONAL CHOICES that have NOTHING to do with anyone else.

Ah, the religion of peace and love..

Why is anyone suprised for? That's what happens when you allow islamist ideology to manifest itself in politics. The British elite are also cowards for not dealing with this rubbish once it come to muslim areas in the uk. They would rather pick on Tommy Robinson instead!

Such a religion

AmberMining Where's the United Nations Human Rights outcry? Wheres The admonishments from the USA, Canada, Australia, NZ and European countries with Rights including same sex marriage?

Anyone that disagrees with this is an Islamophobic racist.

he probably is gay himself

So a moderate response then...

... punishment to be carried out, for whoever, it has to be witnessed by FOUR credible observers. Hence, the likelihood of this punishment ever being meted out are practically zero. These are key points here but conveniently are not mentioned.

Can I point out some crucial issues about this: 1. It isnt targeting the gay community at all. This punishment applies to anyone, gay or straight having sex out of wedlock. 2. Most important of all, and this is indicated but not expanded on in the headline, that for this...

something wrong with that asshole king...🤣

KirstieMAllsopp Europe should have nothing to do with countries that have disgusting medieval punishments.

Pressure must come on Brunei from the international community. Trade embargoes, banning tourism, refusal of visas for Brunei citizens. It’s totally regressive and repulsive.

So much for 'love not hate'.

savages

what on Earth

What year are we living in?

Lol

They have invited the New Zealand PM to the first one

barbaric

Homosexuality leads to aids as proved by study..so beware and stay away from such dangerous disease..if u really care about yourselves..

Violence is sadly, more marketable than peace. The incessant need to criticize or attack opposing views or ideologies is one of humanity's worst flaws.

Petition asking the UK to condemn this despicable decision: UKinBrunei

I expect that Britain will continue it's ties with their 'valuable allie'

This is the kind of bullshit those people in Birmingham advocate yet are hiding behind their ideology.

shiremoorpotter Just had a look at your opinion pages, not one column condemning thi, just the usual sneering metropolitan guff from the usual shampoo dodgers, what are you afraid of?

Alhamdulillah. Proud of the decision! ❤

Still in the dark ages.

Seems only fitting.

Wonder how many officials are gay ?

another place i won't be visiting then!

What about corruption ?

Sad, people should be able to fork who they want

Charles Windsor. Is this man still a friend of yours?

This madness why not jailing but stoning to death WTF

Where is Jacinda Arden now?

Nothing worse than a bunch of closet queens.

Aaaand another country partly stuck in medieval times.

I know this isn't the main point, but see that bit at the end: the Sultan's brother embezzled $15 million from the country, and that led to 'a long running feud' between the Sultan and his brother.

How fucking horrific

Maybe Jeremy_Hunt the genocide perpetrator on Yemen begging Germans to continue selling weapons to Saudi butchers can unleash a war on Brunei with their imperial masters.

That's forward thinking and entirely disgusting.

.foreignoffice Please tell me how, as a nation, we can have diplomatic relations with a nation that does this? I know this is Twitter and there are other more orderly channels for you to communicate but I would genuinely appreciate an answer, as would many others I'd presume.

Roydsterdoyster Regressive and brutal.

And that bastard has billions in this country who knows he might have prostitute....

Coming soon to the UK.

To follow the narrative of The Guardian we should be more open to new ideas and other cultures. Let's all see how this goes. Remember don't be so closed off and embrace other worlds... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sharia law coming to the UK, time to embrace the oppression!!

OOSH! A lot of left wing 'Islamophobia' in various comment sections. The left is eating itself. Glorious.

I have no idea beyond basic cruelty why any of these guys can't just say...'our laws and beliefs prohibit this and we cannot guarantee your safety...How can we help you relocate to another country of your choice that's willing to accept you?'...Rather than outright insta murder..

Absolutely sickened. amnesty what can we do?

The king’s got his hands on Doctor Who’s Tardis and transported an entire country back to the 12th century 🙄🙄

Backward cruel basta*ds, should be condemned by World governments!

Brunei is also a member of the Commonwealth whose aims are to promote 'human rights and decency'. What an ineffective joke that institution is and interesting that Brexiteers want us to get closer to this lot and leave behind the EU commonwealthsec

there was Adam and Eve not Adam and Adam. i shud visit this country soon. kudos

For F**K sake.

HAha, i flew with them to Aus, landed at Brunei, a Costa Coffee, and uncomfortable chairs, think stoning would of been preferable to that lounge. Insult to injury, a none alcohol flight.

Savages.

Troglodyte with hat.

They LGBQ must not be hanged but required to be treated with medicines n psychological counselling.The King is sick.

Does the UK do business with this lot? Well we shouldn't. Barbaric doesn't begin to describe this.

Friendly, modern.

Silence from the Hollywood rage machine..

sounds like a really nice country 😒

For UK? Poll muslims here.
