Asian Country Introduces New Law To Stone All Gay People To Death If Caught by Emperoo: 2:08pm On Apr 03, 2019
An Asian country has introduced
a new law which enforces death
by stoning penalty for all gay
practices.

Brunei is introducing strict new Islamic laws
that make anal s*x and adultery offences
punishable by stoning to death.

The new measures, that come into force on
Wednesday, also cover a range of other
crimes including punishment for theft by
amputation.

The move has sparked international
condemnation.

Brunei’s gay community has expressed
shock and fear at the “medieval
punishments”.

“You wake up and realise that your
neighbours, your family or even that nice old
lady that sells prawn fritters by the side of
the road doesn’t think you’re human, or is
okay with stoning,” one Bruneian gay man,
who did not want to be identified, told the
BBC.

The sultan of the small south-east Asian
nation on Wednesday called for “stronger”
Islamic teachings.

“I want to see Islamic teachings in this
country grow stronger,” Sultan Hassanal
Bolkiah said at a public address, according
to AFP news agency, without mentioning the
new laws.

Homosexuality was already illegal in Brunei
and punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Muslims make up about two-thirds of the
country’s population of 420,000. Brunei has
retained the death penalty but has not
carried out an execution since 1957.

What is punishable under the changes to the
penal code?

The law mostly applies to Muslims including
children who have reached puberty, though
some aspects will apply to non-Muslims.

Under the new laws, individuals accused of
certain acts will only be convicted if they
confess or if there were witnesses present
Offences such as rape, adultery, sodomy
robbery and insult or defamation of the
Prophet Muhammad will carry the maximum
penalty of death.

Lesbian sex carries a different penalty of 40
strokes of the cane and/or a maximum of
10 years in jail The punishment for theft is
amputation.

Those who “persuade, tell or encourage”
Muslim children under the age of 18 “to
accept the teachings of religions other than
Islam” are liable to a fine or jail Individuals
who have not reached puberty but are
convicted of certain offences may be instead
subjected to whipping.

What has global reaction been?

Sultan Hassanal heads the Brunei
Investment Agency, which owns some of
the world’s top hotels including the
Dorchester in London and the Beverly Hills
Hotel in Los Angeles.

Brunei’s ruling royals possess a huge
private fortune and its largely ethnic-Malay
residents enjoy generous state handouts
and pay no taxes.

But Hollywood actor George Clooney and
other celebrities have now called for a
boycott of the luxury hotels. TV host Ellen
DeGeneres also called for people to “rise
up”, saying “we need to do something
now”.

If you can't stand the Law, move to Europe. If you are a Foreigner, leave their Country. No need to whine over how another Country want to govern themselves.

Understand Ye?

No one is a Saint until they are caught. If you are in Brunei and Gay, be sure not to get caught because if they catch you, you will be stoned till Death comes! If you don't want to be caught, please leave that Country and move to America/UK/Germany/France. Those guys no get chill one bit. Only days earlier 8 Nigerians were beheaded for doing drugs in Saudi.
