Article here. Apparently this has been going on in the Czech Republic for decades, without evidence that it's effective. Excerpt:

'(CNN) -- The Czech Republic's practice of surgically castrating convicted sex offenders is "invasive, irreversible and mutilating" and should stop immediately, the Council of Europe's Anti-Torture Committee said in a report made public Thursday.

The central European country castrated at least 94 prisoners in the 10 years up to April 2008, when investigators from the Council of Europe, a human-rights forum, visited the Czech Republic.

The Council of Europe condemned the practice as "degrading."

The procedure is being performed even on first-time, non-violent offenders, such as exhibitionists, its investigation revealed.

Prisoners have to request castration under Czech law, but many fear they will be jailed for life if they do not, the investigation found.

"In practically all the cases, these patients indicated that their application was at least partially instigated by fear of long-term detention," the report said.'

...when they molest little boys and abuse both children and men at higher rates than men do? Hmmm?

That's one more country to add to the "do not travel to and do not buy from" list.

Yeah, that makes sense, commit a more severe crime against an offender in retribution.... that's not justice. That is hypocrisy. I too wonder what kind of female equivalent law they have for this.

Sadly, I actually am of Czech origin. Now I am ashamed of this fact.

I thought the Czechs were the most sexually liberated? how weird is castrating males who show their penises? Have you people seen the blatant sexuality (the most erotic and uninhibited, even more than Britain) that the Czech people have and this stupid brutal law of castration?

I'm shocked.
Not sure? then visit www.PartyHardcore.com and wake up. Leave people the hell alone you mucking forons.

You freaks! I bet you do the Jewish thing to. You mutilate and cut the foreskins of helpless male infants. You Czech people are Crypto Jews, now I'm sure. The weirdest effing thing?

I thought the "Castrati" thing died years ago, where they would castrate boys whoes voices would stay and sound feminine and songs and motets were written specially for these castrati, but this s... is unbelievable

I am shocked to the core at you Czech idiots.
