Sudeste asiático: Singapura dá opção de tratamento a usuários de maconha e cocaína

A partir de 1º de agosto, os usuários de maconha e de cocaína pegos em Singapura terão que passar por tratamento obrigatório em Centros de Reabilitação Química, anunciou na quarta-feira a Agência Central de Entorpecentes. Isso significa que os cheiradores de cocaína e os fumantes de maconha receberão a mesma chance na "reabilitação" que os demais usuários de drogas na cidade-estado do sudeste asiático.

Mas, é melhor que se emendem da primeira vez. As pessoas que passarem por tratamento e tiverem uma recaída e forem presas de novo pegarão uma sentença mínima obrigatória de cinco anos de prisão e três vergastadas.

As pessoas que passarem pela "reabilitação" e sofrerem recaídas pegarão uma sentença mínima obrigatória de sete anos e também entre seis e 12 vergastadas.

Singapura tem algumas das leis mais duras do mundo contra o tráfico de drogas e a sua Lei de Uso Indevido de Drogas [Misuse of Drugs Act] inclui a pena de morte para alguns crimes de drogas, inclusive o tráfico de quantidade superior a 660 gramas de maconha. Agora, terá algumas das leis mais severas de repressão à maconha do mundo voltadas contra os usuários.
