Malaysia sentences five men to jail and caning for gay sex

KUALA LUMPUR — A Malaysian religious court sentenced five men on Thursday to jail, caning and fines for attempting gay sex, media and a rights group said.

Sodomy and same-sex acts are illegal under Islamic law in Muslim-majority Malaysia, although convictions are rare. The Selangor Shariah High Court, on the outskirts of the Malaysian capital, sentenced four men to six months' jail, six strokes of the cane, and a 4,800 ringgit fine for"attempting intercourse against the order of nature", the Malay-language daily Harian Metro reported.

A fifth man was sentenced to seven months' jail, six strokes of the cane and a 4,900 ringgit fine for the same offense.
