Rejected petition Impose Sanctions on Brunei in response to their new barbaric penal code

The Sultan or Brunei has introduced a barbaric new penal code. This includes:

- Death by stoning for extramarital sex, anal sex, and abortion.
- Amputation of limbs for stealing.
- 100 lashes with a whip for lesbian sex.

The Government should not sit in idle complaisance while this happens.
