After a five-year delay, the ministry of law and gender published today a mandatory child sex offenders registry.
The online registry lists more than 70 individuals with their photos, full names, national identity card numbers, date of birth, age, address, date of conviction, date of imprisonment, date of scheduled release and name of the detention centre the individual is being held.
Attorney General Mohamed Anil today blamed the five-year delay on disagreements between government offices over which office was mandated to publish the list.
The online registry is mandated by a 2009 law on child sexual abuse prevention.
