Brunei will be implementing a law that will allow LGBT people to be stoned or whipped to death on April 3, 2019. One of Indonesia’s biggest LGBT activists said that the law would be a violation of international human rights. Death is already a punishment for homosexuality in Multiple countries with most of the population being Muslim including Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

In 2014, Brunei announced laws that will fine and give jail time for pregnancy outside of marriage and not praying on Fridays. This was the first of three stages to change laws. The last two stages were delayed after backlash from multiple nations. But now the next stages are being put into action. Brunei also became the first country to institute Islamic criminal laws.
