Kuwait to increase the implementation of the death penalty for selling drugs.
Shortly after the discovery of two large shipments of narcotics in Kuwait, the country’s officials are thinking of increasing the scope of the “death penalty” for the promoters of some narcotics.
After the recent big discovery in Kuwait regarding several shipments of narcotics, the country’s officials are now thinking of increasing the range of heavier punishments for those accused related to narcotics.
Last Sunday, Kuwait announced the discovery of two large shipments of drugs. According to Kuwait’s “Al-Tawaswal” newspaper, during the visit of these two shipments, the Deputy Prime Minister of Kuwait announced that one shipment contained one million two hundred thousand Captagon tablets and the second shipment contained 250 kilograms of hashish (bang) and 102 kilograms of glass.
Now Brigadier General Mohammad Qabazard, Director General of Kuwait’s Anti-Narcotics Department, announced his country’s efforts to expand the scope of the death penalty for promoters and defendants related to some types of drugs.
According to Kuwait’s “Al-Anba” newspaper, Qabazard said that now many proposals have been made to be more successful in the fight against drugs. The most important of these proposals is to increase the punishment for the promoters of the two narcotic substances “marijuana” and glass. It is suggested that these two be included in table number one of the relevant law, which is punishable by death.
Qabazard said that Kuwait and the member countries of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council have been targeted by drug and alcohol dealers, and this is due to the income of the citizens of Kuwait and the Persian Gulf, and on the other hand, the geographical location of these countries is close to the areas under cultivation and manufacture of prohibited industrial substances.
