Kuwait:
The Gulf state is said to be developing a test that willl 'detect' gay people.
A medical test being developed by
Kuwait will be used to 'detect' homosexuals and prevent them from
entering the country –
or any of the Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC),
according to a Kuwaiti government official.
GCC
member countries
– Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the
United Arab Emirates –
already deem homosexual acts unlawful.
This controversial stance is being toughened, according to Yousouf Mindkar, the director of public health at the Kuwaiti health ministry.
He told Kuwait newspaper Al
Rai:
‘Health centres conduct the routine medical check to assess the
health of the expatriates when they come into the GCC countries.
However, we will take stricter measures that will help us detect gays
who will be then barred from entering Kuwait or any of the GCC member
states.’
Richard Lane, from gay rights
campaign group Stonewall, said: ‘These proposals are not only futile but
contrary to international human rights law.
Many Gulf states have gone
to great lengths to market themselves as open for international
business.
Their leaders should think long and hard about putting forward
measures to restrict freedom of movement and further prohibit the best
talent from doing business in the region simply because of their sexual
orientation.'
Those taking part in homosexual acts in Kuwait, if they’re under 21, can receive a jail sentence of up to 10 years.
Earlier
this month Oman newspaper The Week was suspended over an article that
was deemed to be sympathetic to homosexuals, according to the BBC.
It’s
illegal to be gay in 78 countries, with lesbianism banned in 49.
Five
countries mete out the death penalty to gay people
– Iran, Saudi Arabia,
Sudan, Yemen and Mauritania.
Extreme:
Homosexuality is punishable by death in five countries - and illegal in 78
WHERE HOMOSEXUALITY IS PUNISHED BY DEATH
Iran:
Since 1979, the government has executed more than 4,000 people charged with homosexual acts.
A non-adult who engages in consensual sodomy is subject to a punishment of 74 lashes.
Saudi Arabia:
Although the maximum punishment for homosexuality is execution, the government tends to use other punishments - such as fines, prison sentences, and whipping - unless it feels that homosexuals have challenged state authority by engaging in social movements.
Sudan:
For homosexual men, lashes are given for the first offence, with the death penalty following the third offence.
100 lashes are given to unmarried women who engage in homosexual acts.
For lesbian women, stoning and thousands of lashes are the penalty for the first offence.
Today, the issue has divided some religious communities.
In 2006, Abraham Mayom Athiaan, a bishop in South Sudan, led a split from the Episcopal Church of Sudan for what he regarded as a failure by the church leadership to condemn homosexuality sufficiently strongly.
Yemen:
Homosexuality is still illegal in Yemen in accordance to the country's Shari'ah legal system.
Punishment ranges from flogging to death.
Mauritania:
The Shari'a law applies in Mauritania.
The penal code states that, since 1983,any adult Muslim caught engaging in an 'unnatural act' with a member of the same sex is punishable with the death sentence by public stoning.
