LONDON: Protesters Storm Entrance Of Brunei-Owned Hotel Over New "Stone Gays To Death" Law [View all]
The BBC reports:
Brunei should be “chucked out” of the Commonwealth if it does not revoke its anti-LGBT laws, shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry has said.
Dozens of protesters chanted “shame on you” outside the Brunei-owned Dorchester hotel in London on Saturday. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said he had expressed “deep UK opposition” to the new laws to Brunei’s government.
But the Foreign Office said “threatening to kick countries out of the Commonwealth” was not the “best way” to encourage Brunei to uphold its human rights obligations.
