Nusa
Dua (Antara Bali) - Minister of Law and Human Rights Yasonna
Laoly revealed that he and the relevant agencies are studying the legal
aspect of castration punishment for child rapists (pedophiles).
"There must be a standard set to reduce the libido of pedophiles
through castration. It is not that their testicles will be removed," the
minister stated after attending the opening of the ASEAN Law Ministers`
Meeting (ALAWMM) here on Thursday.
Laoly said his ministry is studying the matter with the relevant
parties, such as the Attorney General`s Office, the Ministry of Women
and Children Empowerment, the Ministry of Social Affairs, the Ministry
of Health, non-governmental organizations, and other related agencies.
He remarked that the discourse on castration to reduce the libido of pedophiles could be implemented.
Referring to a proposal on the need to issue a government
regulation in lieu of law (Perppu), the minister stated that it is also
under study to decide whether sexual crimes against children come under
the emergency category.
He affirmed that sexual crimes against children are grave in nature, and the victims suffer long-term trauma.
"It is (sexual violence against children) quite dangerous as its
impacts are intangible. If there is no stern law, pedophiles will come
here," she added. (WDY)
