Brunei to impose death by stoning for gay secx and adultery; which also prescribes amputation of a hand and foot for theft

[kagalingan]

Ang gusto ko dito eh aayos yung pagtrato sa freedom. Hindi talaga pwede yung gay secx. Masagwa talaga. Tumbong yun eh.

Tapos adultery dapat lang gawin heinous crime kasi aasa-asawa tapos magtatampisaw sa iba. Paano yung effect sa bata nun.

And itong amputation sana dito din pinas. The thought na mawalan ka ng kamay eh paano ka pa magshashabu nyan. Ang dami benefits ito putol punshiment kasi ang hirap na makaulit gumawa kalokohan.

Brunei to impose death by stoning for gay secx and adultery

Adultery and gay *** in Brunei will be subject to death by stoning from next week, authorities said, under a sharia law that has been on hold for four years amid heavy criticism.
Rights groups reacted in horror on Wednesday to the latest hardline move from the resource-rich nation on Borneo, which practises a stricter brand of Islam than its neighbours Malaysia and Indonesia.

The tiny sultanate will implement the harsh new penal code – which also prescribes amputation of a hand and foot for theft – next Wednesday.

Homo***uality is already illegal in Brunei but it will now become a capital offence. The law only applies to Muslims.

The new penalty for theft is amputation of the right hand for a first offence, and the left foot for a second offence.

Amnesty International Wednesday urged Brunei to “immediately halt” implementing the new penalties.

“To legalise such cruel and inhuman penalties is appalling of itself,” Brunei researcher Rachel Chhoa-Howard said in a statement.

“Some of the potential ‘offences’ should not even be deemed crimes at all, including consensual *** between adults of the same gender.”

A notice on Brunei’s Attorney General’s Chambers dated December 29 last year said the provisions will take effect on April 3.

Brunei first announced the measures in 2013 but implementation has been delayed as officials worked out the practical details and in the teeth of opposition by rights groups.

However, a spokesman for the Brunei religious affairs ministry on Wednesday said only that Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah was expected to make an announcement on April 3 regarding the implementation of the new Sharia laws.

“Only after the event we will know regarding the date of the implementation of the new laws,” he said.

“In terms of readiness, at the moment we are prepared to enforce the amputation of the hand for stealing only. That is all.”

Phil Robertson of Human Rights Watch warned that implementation of the law “will quickly drive the country towards human rights pariah status in the eyes of foreign investors, tourists, and international agencies”, adding that it will become the only country in Southeast Asia to punish gay *** with death if it pushes through with the law.

Under a shift towards hardline Islamic law, Brunei in 2015 banned excessive Christmas celebrations for fear that Muslims could be led astray.

Brunei’s sultan is no stranger to controversy at home – the monarchy was deeply embarrassed by a family feud with his brother Jefri over the latter’s alleged embezzlement of US$15 billion during his tenure as finance minister in the 1990s.

Court battles and investigations revealed salacious details of Jefri’s un-Islamic jet-set lifestyle, including claims of a high-priced harem of foreign women and a luxury yacht he owned called “T*ts”.

Ok ito si jefri ah. Westernized. hahahahahh

WTF is wrong with liberals. I agree with the majority that Brunei is a Muslim country so respect their religion.

The law is only for Muslims. I hate when liberals shove their beliefs down other people's throats.

James already pointed out there is nothing that can be done in Brunei. What ticked him off was Pinoys advocating the same thing in the Philippines. ANd most of them will not grant autonomy and do not want Sharia law to their Muslim brothers in Mindanao.
