Tunisia to revise drug law for organized crime
The article reveals Tunisia's intention to amend the 1992 Drug Law to enhance its tools for combating drug trafficking and dismantling organized crime networks that are expanding both locally and internationally, utilizing modern technologies. The proposed amendments include strengthening legal mechanisms such as wiretapping and hacking to track trafficking networks, in line with the evolution of crime and the exploitation of advanced technologies. The new law also emphasizes increased international cooperation, especially with neighboring countries, to combat drug smuggling by sea, air, and land, as Tunisia is a major transit point for cocaine and illicit pills like "Ecstasy" and "Lyrica." One of the largest seizures, involving 12 million pills in 2025, aims to curb the flow of pills that are promoted among youth and teenagers, particularly within educational institutions. The amendments underscore the need to apply the law to everyone regardless of their social level, along with raising awareness and early detection efforts to reduce demand for drugs. This is part of a comprehensive strategy to target supply and decrease demand.
