Tough Drug Bill Aims at Death Penalty in Vietnam
Saigon President Nguyen Van Thieu announced a wartime anti drug bill sending to the National Assembly for emergency action. It imposes the death penalty on importers and peddlers in organized rings, targets narcotics and heroin, and emphasizes addict rehabilitation. The measure intensifies penalties for those who supply GIs and Vietnamese youths, with special wartime trial procedures. The U.S. Command in Saigon also announced a shift to fly confirmed hard drug users to the United States for detox and follow up, to prevent relapse during transit home.
