SANAA - In Indonesia, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) just signed a government regulation in lieu of law, or perppu, to amend a 2002 law on child protection, adding an article of chemical castration as punishment.
“The law is designed to address the urgency caused by sexual crimes against children, which have increased significantly,” Jokowi said in a press conference on Wednesday (25/5).
But, do you know what Yemeni goverment do to raping and murdering suspected?
There are Yahia al-Raghwa (22) which found guilty of raping and murdering Hamdi Abdullah (11) at his barber shop in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, December 2008.
In July 2009, he was shot by a firing squad in a public square in the capital in the presence of hundreds of people including the family of the victim.
Photographs of the execution showed al-Raghwa being led by guards to the square before he was forced to kneel. He was then shot in the back of the head in public view before his body was dragged away.
After the command is given, the executor just spewing bullets AK-MS 7.62 X 39 mm. With a speed of 710 meters/second and an effective range of 300 meters distance but shot within less than one meter, guess what happened? Head of Yahia exploded and scattered its contents in place.
His death brings the number of executions in the country this year to nine.
Yemen is one of 59 countries which retains the death penalty, and one of its most prolific users, according to Amnesty International. It is deployed for a variety of violent and non-violent crimes including apostasy and adultery.
In 2008, Yemen executed 13 people, according to those Amnesty has verified. But as no official figures are released the real toll could be far higher.
All of those died by firing squad but in recent years there have been reports of stonings and beheadings.
The deeply religious desert country has a poor human rights record and it is unclear if al-Raghwa had a fair trial.
Under sharia law, which applies in Yemen, relatives of the victims of certain categories of murder have the power to pardon the offender in exchange for compensation, grant a pardon freely or request his or her execution.
