Czech Republic criticized for surgically castrating rapists.

Kudos to the Czech Republic! You'll hear no criticisms from me on this. From BBC News:

The Czech Republic has been strongly criticised by Europe's leading human rights body for continuing to surgically castrate male sex offenders.

The Council of Europe said castrations had sometimes been performed without warnings of side effects and on men not capable of making an informed decision.

Those requesting castration feared life in jail if they did not do so, it said.

The Czech government says 94 procedures have been performed in the past 10 years, all in accordance with its laws.

A further 300 Czech men have undergone chemical castration - involving the injection of drugs that suppress the production of male hormones - since 2000, according to government figures.
