In the southeast Asian nation of Brunei a new law proposed Homosexuality and Adultery to be punishable by death.
As per the new law, anyone found to be guilty of the offenses will be stoned to death. The capital punishments are to be “witnessed by a group of Muslims.”
Beginning on April 3, any individuals found guilty of the offenses will be stoned to death, according to a new penal code.
The new penal code was announced in May 2014, by the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, who also acts as the country’s prime minister. In announcing the change, government’s website quoted the Sultan saying that his government “does not expect other people to accept and agree with it, but that it would suffice if they just respect the nation in the same way that it also respects them.”
