Burundi President Calls For Stoning Of Gay Couples
Burundi’s President, Evariste Ndayishimiye, introduced a vicious anti-gay tirade on Friday, saying same-sex couples should be publicly stoned.
Ndayishimiye described the marriage between same-sex couples as an “abominable practice.”
“Personally, I think if we see these kinds of individuals in Burundi we should put them in a stadium and stone them. And it would not be a sin for those who do,” Ndayishimiye said while responding to a question at a public event broadcast by Burundian media in the east of the country.
He also criticised Western countries that encourage smaller nations to allow gay marriage or risk losing aid, saying, “Let them keep their help, let them keep it.”
Burundians living abroad who have chosen the devil and practise homosexuality should not come back,” he added.
