Czech's `phallometric´sexuality tests will be no longer legal, EU commission says.Accosding to EuObservet the sinister practice, involving rubber rings or tubes measuring the blood circulation in a man's penis when shown heterosexual or homosexual pornographic materials, was developed in the early years of Communist Czechoslovakia when homosexual interaction was a criminal offence.
How they say, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Still Czechs are checking via 'phallometric tests' if an asylum seeker is really homosexual and thus a potential victim in his home country is not in line with EU asylum laws and fundamental rights, EU home affairs chief Cecilia Malmstrom has said.
Sure, ohallometric testing is difficult to reconcile with existing human rights standards.
The report notes giving details fofo instance about an Iranian man who was granted asylum in Germany after he appealed his transfer to the Czech Republic, where he was supposed to undergo this test.
This is the best side of Union - they seek both to promote the enforcement of human rights standards at the Union´s zone.
The BBC reports that an EU agency, the Fundamental Rights Agency, is criticizing the practice, saying it might violate the European Convention on Human Rights since this procedure touches upon a most intimate part of an individual's private life.
