Call for more life sentences

The chairman of the National Authority for Combating Drugs called on the courts to dole out more life sentences for large-scale narcotics dealers during a meeting yesterday, accusing the judiciary of not being hard enough on those his men are arresting.

 

“No drug criminals are sentenced to life. They are all sentenced to 10 years, 15 years,” Deputy Prime Minster Ke Kim Yan complained at a Ministry of Interior meeting. “Sometimes the sentence is reduced to only three years and then they come out again to traffic. The law is strict, but the people passing sentences are not strict.”

 

“I am not blaming the court, just stating the actual situation,” he said, adding ruefully that even “ringleaders” caught with 5 kilograms of drugs did not receive life sentences.
