1 / 3In this Oct, 10, 2013, photo, Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah speaks during the closing ceremony and handover of the ASEAN Chairmanship to Myanmar in Bandar Seri Begawan. The sultan announced to implement Islamic criminal laws that punishes gay sex by stoning offenders to death. The legal change in the tiny, oil-rich monarchy, which also includes amputation for theft, is due to come into force Wednesday, April 3, 2019.
"Living in Brunei, we already knew that our sexual identity is taboo and should not be expressed. We already felt belittled before the law came to place," said a 23-year-old member of the LGBTQ community who wanted to be identified only as Kun out of fear of reprisal from the authorities. Clooney said that while you can't shame"murderous regimes," you can shame"the banks, the financiers and the institutions that do business with them."Outside the Le Meurice hotel, Philippe Ménager said he was no longer comfortable going to the spa after being a regular customer for 15 years.
Hassanal, who has reigned since 1967, has previously said the Penal Code should be regarded as a form of"special guidance" from God and would be"part of the great history" of Brunei.
Western Caucasians had same laws for centuries until they retired from ransacking 3rd world countries. When they were heartlessly plundering our resources to enrich their Economies & industries, HumanRights were not an issue. Ignore them as human waste!
Sounds like a Mike Pence utopia.
