The small southeast asian kingdom of Brunei has on Wednesday finally introduced extremely strict sharia law.
This means, among other things, that persons who are convicted to grow the anal sex must be stoned to death. Adultery should be punished with stoning.
This writes the news agency Reuters.
In 2014, announced the country’s sultan, that he intends to implement islamic sharia law in the small asian kingdom. The human rights organisation Amnesty International calls on the country to immediately stop the implementation of fundamentalist law.
– To legalize so cruel and inhumane punishments are in themselves appalling, says the Opposition responsible for research in south east Asia, Rachel Chhoa-Howard, in an official press release.
the Sultan, who has sat heavy on the throne since 1967, is in fact, one of the world’s richest heads of state, when he is in possession of a fortune, for a total value of 20 billion. dollars.
the Changes in the law also means that muslim thieves in the future can look forward to get a hand and a foot cut off as punishment for their crime. Alcohol is prohibited in the country, while children outside of marriage and no-shows from the muslim Friday prayers punishable by imprisonment.
Sharialovene will apply to the country’s muslims, who represent around two-thirds of the population.
