Suspend Brunei from the British Commonwealth until they rescind anti-gay laws
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
The Sultan of Brunei is introducing new laws that gay people can be killed by stoning or whipping, just for being gay. This barbaric state-sponsored policy belongs in the history books. This has no place in the 21st century and certainly no place in the British Commonwealth.
South Africa was suspended from the Commonwealth due to its policy of apartheid. This is as bad, if not worse than that
