Human Rights bodies have condemned Brunei's new death penalty law for gay sex and adultery.

Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah has received global condemnation for introducing the death penalty for gay sex.

Rape and robbery are also punishable by death under the code and many of the new laws, such as capital punishment for insulting the Prophet Mohammed, apply to non-Muslims as well as Muslims. The sultan, who has been on the throne for over five decades, also insisted that Brunei was a “fair” country and the environment for visitors was “safe and harmonious”.The sharia laws have triggered worldwide condemnation, and Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch, described the code as “barbaric to the core, imposing archaic punishments for acts that shouldn’t even be crimes”.

A 33-year-old gay Bruneian man, who spoke anonymously, said the new laws were “unfair, cruel and should not happen”.

One word - Hypocrites

Brunei is not a country. It's private holding that belongs to the highly erratic sultan. All the people in this private holding are his slaves. They can be killed or tortured at his whim and fancy. They have no rights.

Yang nak laksanakan ialah beliau. Yang panasnya orang lain. 😅

I opposed LGBT. But to the point of stoning and killing someone, i leave it to God to decide.

A lot of Other nation too condemned this lgbt included pope of vatikan city. Nowhere we can find lgbt is allowed in Quran bible veda mahabrata or any religious in the world

Tnya rakyat Brunei la. Adkh sultan seorang yg adil dn amanah

How come you call human right and support gay? Even gay they are recognised their own original sex and cannot accept the truth and reality. It is also against the Bible, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism and Islam

Why are u so busybody... His Majesty's country... And he is doing what HIS ALMIGHTY GOD is asking each and every Muslim to heed! Noor_haizaA mOkyue hamimahothman4 pu3nurliza Zamyusof2 HamdanRukun MelayuIslam4 amran1817 ihzwana AimanAirin2

I fully support. Should be implemented in malaysia immediately

Friends of taliban..

Kafir dan munafik tidak akan senang dgn islam.......kami doakan sultan brunei dan keturunannya dilindungi dari malapetaka bala bencana...amiiinnnn

Never bothered a misleading fellow . He have money n power

He lives for his religion. That is his right, Brunei is his land. The rests who do not want that, please leave because there are so many others who would like to come to Brunei.

This is a joke as Saudi Arabia is a member of UN Human Rights Council and such Sharia law already in practice by the kingdom for centuries. Just saying la

Islamophobia has just further strengthened.

Terbaik Sultan Brunei

Why these Hollywoodies against it... Most probably they are adulterous and do it without second thought or boundary... If one doesn't do it then there is nothing to be fear about this law then... Ya...

Why must you fear if you don't do it? It is only applicable to MUSLIM
