Members of the Episcopal Conference of Madagascar (CEM) have condemned a bill that proposes to have rapists of minors castrated, arguing that such a law goes “against human dignity.”

In a February 23 ruling that cannot be appealed, Madagascar’s High Constitutional Court (HCC) approved the implementation of surgical castration for perpetrators of rape against minors.
