Brunei to punish gay sex and adultery with death by stoning
Several have left already, seeking asylum in countries such as Canada. The new punishments have also been greeted by shock from abroad, sparking international condemnation from human rights groups and celebrities. George Clooney and pop star Elton John have called for Brunei-owned hotels to be boycotted. The foreign ministries of Germany, France and Australia have protested the plan and called on Brunei to scrap the laws.
Australia has raised our concerns with the Brunei government on the introduction of the full Syariah Penal Code today. He said that he wanted the Muslim call to prayer to ring out in all public places, not just in mosques, to remind people of their Islamic duties. This included less stringent penalties, such as fines or jail terms for offences including indecent behaviour, failure to attend Friday prayers, and out-of-wedlock pregnancies.
This is a direct, top-down creation, it is something the sultan has pushed extremely hard for over decades. His political legitimacy relies to a great extent on his displaying Islamic credentials. It is also unclear whether death by stoning will actually be implemented, as a high burden of proof is needed to hand down the punishment and Brunei has not executed anyone for decades.
