Rejected petition Suspend Brunei from the Commonwealth

Brunei introduced the death penalty for gay sex and "adultery." Stoning, a horrific and tortuous death, is to be introduced. This is incompatible with basic human rights. We call on the British government to put pressure on the Commonwealth Heads of Government to expel Brunei from the Commonwealth.
