5 M’sian Men Sentenced To Jail by Syariah Court for Attempting Homosexual Orgy

Syariah judge Mohd Asri Mohd Tahir has sentenced 5 men to jail time for attempting to commit sex against the order of nature, aka, homosexuality.

“You are married, you have a wife, and you did this. You betrayed your family,” he had said to 1 of the 5 men, a 42-year-old, as he was sentenced to 7 months in jail, a fine of RM4,900 and 6 strokes of the cane.

The other 4 men aged between 27 to 37-years-old were given 6 months in jail, a fine of RM4,800 and 6 strokes of the cane for the same offence, as according to New Straits Times.

Those who fail to pay their fines will also have to serve an additional 3 to 4 months of jail time.

“All the accused were found naked in an apartment on the second floor with 7 other men, including 3 who were non-Muslims, along with condoms and lubricants,” he had said, adding that the offence committed is serious, against human nature and that the sentence given was insufficient to serve as a lesson for the accused and the society in general.

“The facts indicated there was preparation to commit sex against the order of nature and this was not an initial attempt.”

The case was sentenced under the Syariah Criminal Enactment (Selangor) 1995 along with Section 52 and Section 28 of the Syariah Criminal Enactment (Selangor) 1995 in attempts to perform sex against the order of nature. Upon judgement, the accused can be fined not more than RM5,000 or jailed not more than 8 months or caned not more than 6 strokes or any combination of the above punishments.

This incident comes after the case in which two women were caned for ‘attempting lesbian sex’ in the east coast state of Terengganu.
