印尼政府加重对性侵儿童惩罚措施

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

日前，印度尼西亚政府已经加大了对儿童性侵犯的惩罚力度，引入了死刑和化学阉割。

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

由于印尼最近发生了多起暴力案件，包括一名14岁女孩惨遭轮奸并被杀害，这项法令随之出台。

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.

印尼总统佐科·维多多表示，这项法令是“为了应对儿童性暴力产生的危机。”此前的法律规定，强奸罪（不管是对成年人还是儿童）的最高刑罚是有期徒刑14年。

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

现在，那些因性侵儿童被判刑的罪犯，出狱后还必须佩戴电子追踪设备。

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岁女学生尤蕴在放学回家的路上惨遭轮奸以及一名18岁的工厂女工被强奸并遭残忍杀害的事件，已经引发了全国公愤。

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.

对强奸犯采取更为严苛的惩罚措施，比如阉割和死刑（特别是当受害者是儿童时），在民意调查及社交平台上得到了广泛支持。

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

由紧急总统令引入的这项新规会立即生效。维多多总统对此表示：“对于特殊的犯罪，我们需要采取特殊的措施。”
