Sex offenders convicted of multiple rapes could face chemical castration in Pakistan after lawmakers passed new anti-rape legislation that aims to speed up convictions and impose tougher sentences
It comes in response to a mass public outcry over a recent surge in rapes against women and children in the country, and growing demands to ensure justice for victims of sexual assault. The bill states that Pakistan's government must establish special courts nationwide to expedite rape trials and ensure sexual abuse cases are decided"expeditiously, preferably within four months."Those found guilty of gang rape will be sentenced to death or life in prison.

"Instead of trying to deflect attention, the authorities should focus on the crucial work of reforms that will address the root causes of sexual violence and give survivors the justice they deserve," Amnesty said.
