| Authorities in Madagascar have asked the EU ambassador, Isabelle Delattre, to leave the island, following remarks she made that they said were critical of the government. | |
| She reportedly criticised a new law - that was passed in February - for convicted child rapists to be surgically castrated. | |
| The EU confirmed that the ambassador would leave her post in July or August. | |
| A spokesperson for the embassy said they wanted good relations with Madagascar but warned of what he described as political and financial consequences. | |
| The new castration law has faced criticism from international rights groups, but was supported by local activists who praised it as an appropriate deterrent to curb rape cases. | |
