Brunei’s already strict Islamic criminal code will enter an
even tougher new stage next week with the introductions
of laws mandating lengthy prison terms, whipping, and
even execution for homosexual behavior. Brunei is set to
become the first Asian country to punish homosexuality
with the death penalty, as several Arab countries do.
runei began imposing sharia law with a three-stage process in 2014.
The first stage criminalized Christmas celebrations, getting pregnant out of wedlock, and failing to attend Muslim prayer services.
Homosexuality was also criminalized, but the penalty in
Stage One of the sharia revolution was merely 10 years in prison.
The sultanate disregarded five years of criticism from
international human rights groups and quietly issued
court orders to proceed with Stage Two on April 3.
Gays will be whipped, imprisoned for much longer
sentences, and could be executed by stoning, although
Brunei has recently been lax about actually carrying out
death sentences.
Homosexuality 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.
