British military called on to strip the Sultan of Brunei of honorary appointments awarded to him by the Queen as backlash against new anti-LGBT laws grows
On Friday, Stephen Evans, CEO of the UK's National Secular Society called for both the British Royal Air Force and Royal Navy to strip the Sultan of honorary titles bestowed upon him.:"Brunei's deplorable new laws are a breach of basic human rights and contrary to the values that should define British institutions.
"Stripping the sultan of the honours they have bestowed upon him would send out the important message that they do not wish to be in any way associated with this sort of medieval barbarism." Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by Hassanal Bolkiah, reviews the honour guard upon her arrival in Bandar Seri Begawan, September 17, 1998.The Sultan was made an honorary Admiral in the Royal Navy in 2001, after he passed out from a summer enlistment at the Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth.The decision to award the Sultan with the honors was not made by the Queen herself, Buckingham Palace told Business Insider.
