TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) on Thursday released a statement asserting that the commission will monitor how the chemical castration punishment for suspects of sexual crimes is practiced.

KPAI deputy Rita Pranawati wrote that “The KPAI respects the government’s attempts in completing the implementing rules taking the form of a Government Regulation that had been born four years after the Law was passed.”

The chemical castration punishment is overseen by Government Regulation (PP) No.70/2020 on the procedure of chemical castration, electronic detection device installation, and public announcements against sex offenders.

Rita Pranawati says that KPAI is also urging the government to push for better victims protection and rehabilitation apart from intensifying the punishments for suspects of child sexual crimes. In 2019, the commission found that only 48.3 percent of victims' rehabilitation was done.
