Franța aprobă închisoarea pe viață pentru violatorii copiilor sub 15 ani

French deputies have approved a law imposing life imprisonment for serial rapists of minors under 15, following a shocking case. The measure was proposed after the case of Lyhanna, a girl who suffered repeated sexual assaults, reigniting discussions on harsher penalties for repeat offenders. Initially rejected, the government requested a revote, emphasizing the need for stricter laws as current legislation does not allow life sentences for such crimes. Left-wing deputies criticized the repressive nature of the measure, arguing it distracts from the lack of resources for investigations and prevention of sexual violence against children.
