Susulan kritikan global dari beberapa selebriti antaranya George Clooney dan Elton John, Sultan Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah memutuskan untuk melanjutkan moratorium ke atas hukuman mati untuk undang-undang melarang homoseks.
Harian Metro melaporkan, sebelum ini negeri terkecil di Asia Tenggara itu mencetuskan kemarahan ramai selepas melaksanakan hukuman syariah pada 3 April lalu. Ia melibatkan hukuman mati terhadap pesalah rogol, zina dan liwat serta rejam. Brunei berterusan mempertahankan haknya melaksanakan undang-undang syariah sejak kali pertama diperkenalkan pada 2014 namun sejak itu undang-undang terbabit dibatalkan secara berperingkat. Dalam respons kritikan terhadap negara itu, baginda memaklumkan hukuman mati tidak akan dilaksanakan dalam Perintah Kanun Keseksaan Syariah (SPCO).
Sementara itu antara jenayah yang membawa hukuman mati di Brunei termasuk pengedaran dadah, namun belum ada hukuman dilaksanakan sejak 1957. -CARI |
Perintah Kanun Hukuman Jenayah Syariah 2013 (SPCO) Dilaksanakan sepenuhnya
BRUNEI DOT COM·MONDAY, MAY 6, 2019
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, - Negara Brunei Darussalam sebagaimana yang diketahui oleh rakyat dan penduduk, telahpun mula melaksanakan sepenuhnya Perintah Kanun Hukuman Jenayah Syariah, 2013 (SPCO) pada 3 April 2019.
Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar 'Ali Saifuddien Sa'adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan dan Yang Di-Pertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam bertitah menegaskan ini adalah tanggungjawab keugamaan kita di sisi Allah selaku sebuah negara Islam. Dalam titah perutusan Sempena Menyambut Bulan Ramadan Tahun 1440 Hijrah / 2019 Masihi, Kebawah DYMM menegaskan undang-undang berkenaan adalah semata-mata bertujuan untuk memelihara Maqasid Syar'iah yang meliputi ugama, nyawa, keturunan, harta dan akal.
Baginda menyedari terdapat bermacam-macam persoalan dan salah tanggapan berikutan dengan pelaksanaan undang-undang berkenaan dan untuk itu, kita, titah Kebawah DYMM, telah memberikan penjelasan mengenainya.
''Kita juga sedia menyedari, salah tanggapan memang boleh saja menimbulkan pelbagai kegusaran.
Namun kita juga yakin apabila salah tanggapan itu bertukar jadi kefahaman yang betul maka apa yang mulanya dianggap buruk, baru akan nampak pula kebaikannya,'' titah baginda seterusnya.
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN – His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah gave a televised address on Radio Televisyen Brunei Sunday night to clarify Brunei’s implementation of the Syariah Penal Code.
Here is the titah in full:
Alhamdulillah, I am grateful to Allah SWT for his blessings that our country remains peaceful and prosperous.
Insya Allah, let it be with His blessings that we enter the holy month of Ramadhan.
As we approach the holy month of Ramadhan, I would like to wish you all much blessings in performing the fast, which is one of the pillars of Islam.
Let us pray to Allah Subhanahu Wata’ala for our continuous good health and well-being so that we can perform our obligation during the month of Ramadhan in comfort and happiness.
As we are all aware, Brunei Darussalam has begun to fully implement the Syariah Penal Code Order, 2013 (SPCO) on 3 April 2019. This is our religious obligation to Allah Subhanahu Wata’ala as an Islamic country.
The aim of implementing the law is to uphold the objectives of Syariah which are to protect religion, life, lineage, property and intellect.
I am aware that there are many questions and misperceptions with regard to the implementation of the SPCO. We have given clarification to this. We are conscious of the fact that misperceptions may cause apprehension. However, we believe that once these have been cleared, the merit of the law will be evident.
There should not be any concern on the Syariah law as it is full of Allah’s mercy and blessings. Allah, the provider of blessings, will never bestow upon us laws meant to inflict cruelty on others. As evident for more than two decades, we have practiced a de facto moratorium on the execution of death penalty for cases under the common law. This will also be applied to cases under the SPCO which provides a wider scope for remission.
In upholding our international commitments and obligations on human rights, Brunei Darussalam will be ratifying the United Nations Convention Against Torture (UNCAT). Both the common law and the Syariah law aim to ensure peace and harmony of the country. They are also crucial in protecting the morality and decency of the public as well as respecting the privacy of individuals.
With the righteous intent of implementing this law, may Allah bless us and our country with this holy month of Ramadhan.
Wabillahit Taufeq Walhidayah, Wassalamu ‘Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
