Cyprus: New Bill Proposes Chemical Castration Option
Convicted paedophiles in Cyprus could undergo chemical castration and skip their life sentences under a new bill.
According to the proposed regulations, child sex offenders can apply to be released early from prison if they agree to be sterilised, which would result in them having their sexual urges and fantasies eliminated.
The tough call, which was proposed by Cypriot MP Michalis Yiacoumi of the Democratic Alignment party to tackle a rise in child abuse cases, builds on the 2014 law that mandated life sentences for convicted paedophiles.

The big problem I see here is the state can’t be trusted with even a little power. Temptation is to great and the state always gives in . Same as America with its registrys. A registry that in most cases started as something trivial twenty years ago quickly took on new hydra heads. Chemical castration will be the same thing. Today it’s voluntary and only for pedophiles..Tomorrow it will be mandatory and for anyone accused of anything even remotely resembling a sex crime.. The same thing every single time..
