Adultery and gay sex will be punishable by stoning to death and the limbs of convicted thieves will be amputated under a new law set to come into effect from next week in the tiny southeast Asian kingdom of Brunei.

A new strict Sharia penal code is to be enforced from next Wednesday defying heavy criticism that has kept the brutal provisions on hold for the last four years.

Surely in 2019 this is a blatant infringement of human rights!?

It’s 2019!!!! Religion poisons everything

Religion of peace. 🙄

we gave them £ 💷 💷 of our taxes from the foreign aid budget. Not a lot but enough to buy stones

very harsh and backward

HOPEFULLY IT MIGHT CATCH ON TO INCLUDE OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL!

Medieval punishment in a medieval country

Disgusting. Hope Sanctions are applied to stop all business and tourism with Brunei.

Little awkward considering all the adultery their sultan has in his harem...

Under a Sharia Penal Code

You little fking drag on humanity and it’s evolving awareness. It’s about time we started euthanising the backward or we won’t make it the the end of the century.

And don’t drink you’ll be stoned

Because I work in the university sector, I originally read that as “Brunel”

Britain in a years time if Borris gets in

See, Islam isn't all bad.

Well we’re going to be cap in hand to these countries post-Brexit. May as well get used to these being non-stories, then.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

That is sad and backward, but then again Saudi Arabia has been doing that for ages, so what is new? The West has no jurisdiction when it comes to their pay masters

Kudos

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Only acceptable if the ones stoning are visually impaired, and they’re doing it 500 feet away from their targets.

Seems a little harsh.

Progressive.

Good 👍👍👍
