Brunei introduces death by stoning for gay sex amid international condemnation

The legal change in the oil-rich monarchy also includes the same death penalty for adultery and rape, and amputation for theft.

New Islamic criminal laws in Brunei that would allow death by stoning or whipping for gay sex come into force from today.
The legal change in the tiny, oil-rich monarchy, also includes the death penalty for adultery and rape, and amputation for theft.
The move has sparked international condemnation, including from celebrities such as George Clooney and Elton John.
Human rights group Amnesty International has condemned the punishments, which it says would also apply to children, as "vicious"
Human Rights Watch said Brunei's new penal code was "barbaric to the core" and called for the immediate suspension of "amputations, stoning, and all other rights-abusing provisions and punishments".

Under international human rights law, corporal punishment in all its forms constitutes torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment and is prohibited.
Brunei has defended the Sharia laws, saying "apart from criminalising and deterring acts that are against the teachings of Islam", the legislation "also aims to educate, respect and protect the legitimate rights of all individuals, society or nationality of any faiths and race".
