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.

In the country of Cyprus which is in the continent of Europe a life sentence comprises/consists of the following 20 years for violent crimes (armed burglary/armed robbery, assault, battery, domestic violence, homicide, sexual assault/sexual battery, et-cetera) of an adult against another adult with a possibility of parole after 10 years and 25 years for violent crimes (armed burglary/armed robbery, assault, battery, domestic violence, homicide, sexual assault/sexual battery, et-cetera) of an adult against child with a possibility of parole after 12 and a half years.
Chemical and/or physical castration does nothing to alleviate the thinking, or desires, of committing the crime .. A pedophile could still get his MENTAL jollies off by kidnapping, touching, or inserting the victims genitals in his mouth .. This is ONLY a Democratic Party LIE told to the people to get more of the taxpayer’s money ..
This is very bad! Once people accept mutilation of bodies, it opens the door to other forms of mutilation and destruction of bodily autonomy. This is a nightmare for humanity! We know that they never want to go back once they establish new ways of control and harm to humans.
In other words, their prisons are too full and they don’t want to pay to keep feeding and housing so many inmates for the rest of their lives.
Though I very much disagree with the premise, at least they propose making it voluntary. As opposed to some in the US, who would mandate chemical castration AND leave the person in prison for life.
Not to mention that should it become law, it won’t make one whit of difference in the commission of child sex crime, being that nearly all of it is committed by those without priors.

They can’t do both. If you are in prison for life, what is the purpose of castration? Not like an adult and a juvenile are going to be in the same prison. So, who are they lusting after that needs castration if they are locked up for life. One or the other, unless they did it just for spite and just because they can?
Bad enough myself and others did not even have a registry when arrested so we got screwed over when it came out, as none of us before the registry got to plea bargain over that, since it was not even in existence. We got a bonus lifetime of registry instead. The gift that keeps on giving but nobody wants, and you cannot return it.
Is this just another feel good agenda for the public? This is proposed to tackle the rise of child abuse cases. The ones who would benefit from is is the lifers that are able to get let out. This would not do anything for new cases that are evolving everyday from people that’s never been caught or convicted. In my opinion is the public needs to be educated that abuse happens everywhere and not just from convicted people. There is needs to be a group such as MADD. I remember when it was started. Even today you see and here the slogans Drive sober or get pulled over. Many are not aware of how severe the consequences are. I had no clue. I downloaded a few things but did not send anything nor spoke to anyone. I was fortunate to have a good attorney but I still served a year and 4 years probation. I had no clue how bad my life was going to be afterwards. Maybe if I knew the consequences things would have been different.
Now imagine A.I. generated images that are not real people and carry the same consequences. Just weaponizing technology to feed the PFR machine.
This sounds like a great idea for some and not all. I concur with this new legislation.
