geovalin Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 The National Authority for Combating Drugs (NACD) has confiscated more than 90 tonnes of illegal drugs since the beginning of 2021. More than six tonnes of the contraband were set alight near the Koh Pich Convention and Exhibition Centre in Phnom Penh to mark the June 26 International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, with the remaining slated for incineration later. Speaking at the event, Minister of Interior Sar Kheng said that in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, geopolitical rivalries among the great powers and the prolonged Russia-Ukraine conflict, the issue of illegal drugs was easily overlooked. But Cambodia would not forget, he said, and has actually increased its efforts to fight them. At the peak of the pandemic in 2020-21, Cambodian authorities had made many arrests for drug-related offences, with 21,566 happening in 2020 and 13,979 in 2021. read more https://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/six-tonnes-drugs-incinerated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
