印尼政府加重對性侵兒童懲罰措施

Indonesia has toughened its punishments for child rapists to include the death penalty and chemical castration.

日前，印度尼西亞政府已經加大了對兒童性侵犯的懲罰力度，引入了死刑和化學閹割。

It follows outrage over several recent violent crimes, including the gang-rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl.

由於印尼最近發生了多起暴力案件，包括一名14歲女孩慘遭輪姦並被殺害，這項法令隨之出臺。

President Joko Widodo said the regulation was "intended to overcome the crisis caused by sexual violence against children". Previously, the maximum sentence for rape, of either an adult or a child, was 14 years in jail.

印尼總統佐科·維多多表示，這項法令是“爲了應對兒童性暴力產生的危機。”此前的法律規定，強姦罪（不管是對成年人還是兒童）的最高刑罰是有期徒刑14年。

People jailed for sexual offences against children may also now be made to wear electronic monitoring devices after their release.

現在，那些因性侵兒童被判刑的罪犯，出獄後還必須佩戴電子追蹤設備。

The gang rape of 14-year-old Yuyun on her way home from school and the rape and brutal murder of a 18-year-old factory worker have sparked national outrage.

14歲女學生尤蘊在放學回家的路上慘遭輪姦以及一名18歲的工廠女工被強姦並遭殘忍殺害的事件，已經引發了全國公憤。

In polls and on social media there is widespread support for tougher punishments including castration and the death penalty for perpetrators, particularly when children are the victims.

對強姦犯採取更爲嚴苛的懲罰措施，比如閹割和死刑（特別是當受害者是兒童時），在民意調查及社交平臺上得到了廣泛支持。

Introduced by emergency presidential decree, the new rules are in effect immediately. "An extraordinary crime deserves an exceptional response", Mr Widodo said.

由緊急總統令引入的這項新規會立即生效。維多多總統對此表示：“對於特殊的犯罪，我們需要採取特殊的措施。”
