Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has called for a full-fledged crackdown on rapists and other sex offenders in the country, proposing chemical castration for those found guilty in rape cases to ensure they don’t become repeat offenders. He has also called for a national register that can keep track of sex offenders.

On Monday, Khan told a regional TV news channel that he feels chemical castration of rapists is urgently needed or at least the culprits should be made to forcefully undergo surgery so that they don’t commit sexual crimes in future.

The Pakistan prime minister argued the case for a grading system for rapes and sexual assault cases along the lines of the standard first, second and third-degree classification in place for murder cases.

Khan, who was speaking on a recent incident of gang-rape in Lahore that sparked nationwide outrage, said, “Those who are in first degree, they should be castrated and operated upon to disable them from repeating such crimes.”

He proposed setting up a three-pronged strategy to deal with rapes and other sexual abuse cases, starting with the registration of sex offenders and paedophiles.

Another step, Khan said, to deal with rapists and child sex abusers, was to hand them exemplary punishments. He called for hanging them in public as punishment for scarring the lives of the victims and their families.

The Pakistan PM said it wasn’t possible for the administration to know exactly how many rape cases occur across the country, adding that such crimes were routinely under-reported.

However, on the topic of public hanging of rapists, Khan said his government believes that such a form of punishment was unlikely to be accepted by the global community, and could even jeopardise the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) that is extended to Pakistan by the European Union.

Provoked by a nationwide outcry over the gang rape of a mother in front of her children, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has called for the public execution or castration of convicted rapists and paedophiles.

Last week, a woman was raped by two men after she ran out of petrol and her car broke down on a highway near Lahore.

She was sexually assaulted and robbed, with her two children present, while waiting for police to arrive, sparking an outpouring of anger that has shone a light on sexual violence against women.

In a televised interview with Hard Talk Pakistan where he was questioned over the brutal incident, the leader and former cricket star said his government had explored a number of punishments for perpetrators of such crimes.

“I think he (the culprit) should be hanged in a public square. Rapists and child molesters should undergo public hanging,” Mr Khan said.

“You do not know the real statistics as well, because it’s under-reported. People do not report it as they are scared or are ashamed, women are ashamed, no one wants to speak.”

Public hanging, the PM acknowledged, would not be “internationally acceptable” and could affect Pakistan’s trade status with the European Union.

As an alternative to the death penalty, he suggested an alternative punishment: to “chemically or surgically castrate” rapists, depending on the severity of the crime.

“The way there is first-degree, second-degree, third-degree murder, this should be graded in the same way. When there is first degree (rape), castrate them. Make them unable to do this,” the 67-year-old said.

During the National Assembly yesterday, Mr Khan said that his cabinet is working on introducing new measures so that sex offenders realise they will face serious consequences for their crimes.

His comments were greeted with widespread approval on social media, as shock over the attack on the unnamed woman, believed to be French, continues.

Comments by Lahore police chief, Umar Sheikh, only heightened the nation’s fury, after he appeared to blame the woman, declaring she should have known better than to travel at night.

An investigation into the rape by Lahore Police is ongoing, with three men arrested, including one of the alleged rapists.

The other man involved, described by police as the mastermind of the group and believed to have been accused of gang rape before, has so far evaded arrest.
