Indonesian drug penalties seen as backfiring says official
Dr P Soenario, head of Indonesia’s drug agency, warns heavy penalties for drug misuse fuel a vicious cycle by driving addicts to cheaper options inland. He cites strict sentences, low treatment staff, and a plane drug smuggling case to illustrate consequences. He and Dr Djasmin visit Australia as guests of the Proprietary Association of Australia and plan talks with federal and state health officials.
