Pedophiles in Poland will face mandatory chemical castration after release from prison, according to a new law approved Friday 25 Septemberby Poland’s lower house of parliament. The law must be approved by the upper house. Human rights groups have criticized  the law, saying mandatory punishments can often result in a perversion of justice. The Poland-based Helsinki Foundation of Human Rights says, “such a requirement is never reasonable and life can always produce cases that lawmakers could never have even dreamt of.” Prime Minister Donald Tusk has called pedophiles “degenerates” and has said “I don’t believe one can use the term “human” for such individuals, such creatures”.
