Condemn Brunei for it's law that punishes LGBT people by stoning them to death
We the undersigned call on the government to publicly condemn Brunei's passing of a new law that punishes gay sex through stoning and whipping. The passing of such a law represents a grave threat to human rights, and we wish to see the governemnt condemn this law in the strongest possible terms.
According to a new penal code that will be passed on April 3rd, any individuals found practicing same sex activity will be punished through whipping and stoning, possibly even to death. Such a passing of a new law has received widespread criticism from organizations promoting human rights and progressive LGBT laws. We call upon the UK government to release a statement that condemns Brunei's passing of this new law, as well as possible trade sanctions that could be implemented against Brunei.
