Brunei says it will not enforce gay sex death penalty after worldwide protests of new laws
In comments on Sunday, the sultan of Brunei said his country would not execute people under controversial religious laws which allow those convicted of adultery and gay sex to be stoned to death.
"For more than two decades, we have practiced a de facto moratorium on the execution of death penalty for cases under the common law," Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah said, adding that the same de facto moratorium would apply to Brunei's new sharia laws.
The laws, which came into full effect in April, generated global backlash, with protests made by the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and France. Celebrities like Elton John and George Clooney also denounced the laws.
