Amsterdam: The Dutch parliament on Tuesday called for an investigation into reports that Catholic clerics ordered castration of young males in the 1950s in an attempt to cure their homosexuality.

Dutch MPs raised questions in parliament over a weekend report in Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad saying boys from a Catholic boarding school had been castrated.

“All these horrible reports strengthen me to call for a parliamentary investigation and perhaps even an enquiry,” Labour member of parliament Khadija Arib said in a debate.
