Here are the 10 countries where homosexuality may be punished by death
10 countries
Homosexual acts can be punished by death
It is illegal in 67 other countries including Papua New Guinea and Malaysia.

Details about their laws:

Yemen

According to 1994 penal code, married men can be sentenced to death by stoning for homosexual intercourse. Unmarried men face whipping or one year in prison. Women face up to seven years in prison.

Iran

In accordance with sharia law, homosexual intercourse between men can be punished by death, and men can be flogged for lesser acts such as kissing. Women may be flogged.

Iraq

The penal code does not expressly prohibit homosexual acts, but people have been killed by militias and sentenced to death by judges citing sharia law.

Mauritania

Muslim men engaging in homosexual sex can be stoned to death, according to a 1984 law. Women face prison.

Nigeria

Federal law classifies homosexual behavior as a felony punishable by imprisonment, but several states have adopted sharia law and imposed a death penalty for men. A national law signed in early January makes it illegal for gay people countrywide to hold a meeting or form clubs imposes a 14-year jail term for homosexual relations.

Qatar

Sharia law in Qatar applies only to Muslims, who can be put to death for extramarital sex, regardless of sexual orientation.

Saudi Arabia

Under the country’s interpretation of sharia law, a married man engaging in sodomy or any non-Muslim who commits sodomy with a Muslim can be stoned to death. All sex outside of marriage is illegal.

Somalia

The penal code stipulates prison, but in some southern regions, Islamic courts have imposed Sharia law and the death penalty.

Sudan

Three-time offenders under the sodomy law can be put to death; first and second convictions result in flogging and imprisonment. Southern parts of the country have adopted more lenient laws.
United Arab Emirates

Lawyers in the country and other experts disagree on whether federal law prescribes the death penalty for consensual homosexual sex or only for rape. In a recent Amnesty International report, the organization said it was not aware of any death sentences for homosexual acts. All sexual acts outside of marriage are banned.

Sad.

Although it seems in Qatar it doesn't necessarily seem related to being gay.

So unfair.
Let's just hope for the best

Judging by the thumbs down, maybe people are against human rights. :cry2:

I am not sure how the thumbs down works in this forum.
But, it could also mean people doing the thumbs down don't like that these countries have such laws, not that they don't like your post.

I had no idea how awful the situation in Guyana is. Life imprisonment? That's terrible. I hope people in these countries avoid being caught.
