Indonesia's president will soon sign a decree authorising the use of
chemical castration to punish paedophiles in an effort to combat an
alarming rate
of child sex abuse.
"It has been agreed that there will be additional punishment in order to
make people think a thousand times before committing such crimes," Attorney-General Muhammad Prasetyo said late on Tuesday
after the move was agreed at a cabinet meeting led by President Joko
Widodo. "We are very concerned about child
molestation abuse cases. This crime is extraordinary and there have been
so many victims," Prasetyo added.
