UN's Bachelet urges Brunei not to apply death penalty for gay sex, adultery

None

Brunei will deal a serious setback to human rights if it applies laws allowing death by stoning for adultery and gay sex, marking an end to a de facto moratorium on capital punishment, UN human rights chief Michelle Bachelet said on Monday.

 

Bachelet said Brunei's revised Penal Code would enshrine serious breaches of international human rights law into law.
