LONDON: British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt cancelled a fundraising event at the Brunei-owned luxury Dorchester Hotel in London, sources said on Wednesday , after the sultanate adopted the death penalty for gay sex.
The body which represents rank-and-file police officers in England and Wales said on Wednesday it was moving its annual bravery awards away from the hotel. "Doing nothing was not an option. An alternative venue has been identified and I will make sure the Bravery Awards are as special as they have always been. This is the right decision."Hundreds of anti-discrimination demonstrators, many armed with rainbow flags, massed outside the Dorchester Hotel on Apr 6, 2019.
A tough penal code in the tiny country on tropical Borneo island - ruled by the all-powerful Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah - came fully into force last Wednesday after several years of delay.
