Capital punishment in Brunei Darussalam is a legal penalty, applicable to a number of violent and non-violent crimes in the Sultanate.
Along with offences such as murder, terrorism, and treason, other crimes have become liable to the death penalty since the phased introduction of sharia from 2014.
It instituted the death penalty (by stoning) for adultery, sodomy, rape, apostasy, blasphemy, and insulting Islam.
[1] There has been a de facto moratorium on the death penalty since the country gained independence in 1984.
Despite plans to reimplement capital punishment by 2019 for offences under the SPCO, the moratorium was further extended to include the new code following widespread international condemnation of it.
