Legislation will speed up rape trials, protect identity of victims and create a sex offender register
Pakistan’s president has approved a tough new anti-rape law which includes the establishment of special courts to speed up rape trials and the chemical castration of serial rapists.
The legislation, which must be approved by parliament to remain in effect, requires courts to conclude the trials of alleged rapists and issue verdicts within four months. It also prohibits the disclosure of the identity of rape victims and will create a national sex offender register.
