The UK Government to publicly condemn Brunei’s new law regarding homosexuality
Call for the Government to officially and publicly condemn Brunei’s further criminalisation of homosexuality by introducing the death penalty as punishment.
Brunei is a member of the Commonwealth. This law is in violation of the equality and non-discrimination clauses of the Commonwealth Charter.
