it was reported that competing bills were under review to reintroduce the death penalty in Peru for child rapists, who are "not human beings" but "abominable, execrable and monstrous" creatures who "have no rights," according to one of the initiatives. The draft law presented to Congress the previous week by right-wing legislator Lourdes Alcorta described rapists as "predatory, savage animals," "perverted criminals" and "ill bred wretches."
Therefore, society has no choice but to eliminate them, as "they do not deserve to live," according to the draft law, which would apply the death penalty to rapists of children under nine years of age, physically or mentally disabled persons, and minors aged nine to 18 who are raped and then killed.
Alcorta has the support of seven other lawmakers from her party, out of a total of 17 belonging to the right-wing National Unity alliance. The bill was in competition to one put forward on the matter by newly elected President Alan Garcia.
