Indonesia’s president has approved tough new punishments for child sex offenders, including a maximum penalty of death and chemical castration, after the brutal gang-rape and murder of a schoolgirl.
Convicted paedophiles could also be forced to wear electronic monitoring devices following their release from jail under new rules introduced in an emergency decree...
“Sexual crimes against children are extraordinary crimes, because they threaten the lives of children.”
Widodo was spurred into action after the murder and gang-rape in April of a 14-year-old girl, who was set upon by a gang of drunken men and boys as she walked home from school on the western island of Sumatra.
Her battered body was found three days later in woods, tied up and naked. Seven teenagers, aged 16 and 17, were jailed earlier this month over the assault.
...Indonesia is likely to draw fire for expanding its use of the death penalty. Jakarta has faced criticism for use its use of capital punishment against drug traffickers, and sparked international outrage last year when it put seven foreign drug convicts to death by firing squad.
...By introducing chemical castration, Indonesia joins a small group who use the punishment worldwide, including Poland and some states in the US. In 2011, South Korea became the first Asian country to legalise the punishment.

Salon’s readers must be having a cow.
Like any other punishment which cannot be undone, the criteria for guilt has to be “beyond any doubt whatsoever” and not merely “beyond any reasonable doubt”...
Aside from pedophilia, in the muslim world, there is a problem with capriphilia...
lol.
We should start doing this with anarchist street riot punks here in America....
Doesn’t work. They can still ideate inappropriately about children and use their mouths and fingers. Better get serious about those medication regimes combined “talking” cures since it seems to be the best hope if you aren’t going to confine them to institutions. This is false hope in a quick fix.
Well, Indonesia just got crossed off of Bill Clinton’s list of fun spots.
Perhaps first chemically castrate them, then cut their heads off...
Sequencing matters, if you chemically castrate after the execution, you're wasting your money.
Lol. Decapitation would certainly keep people safe but it has the drawback of a rehabilitation rate of zero. You have to try. Or I do. I like institutionalization as a policy for certain types.
I wonder how many rich people this will apply to, with their harems.
Sounds like another way to stir up masses.
For pedophiles??? You can’t rehab those freaking perverts.
I wonder how many state governors will now ban official travel there?
Get ready for a flood of Indineasian refugee pedophiles. They will be safe in the United States where any and all perversions are welcomed with open arms. No doubt Obama will rule that they be allowed to use new special children’s restrooms.
Chemical castration for paedophiles...
I could support that. After all, H2SO4 is a chemical...
...then cut their heads off...
One head at a time, small one first.
Are they castrated before or after they are put to death?
