Imprisonment and execution for drug offenses
The former Director of the Drug Enforcement Department, retired General Anwar Tarawneh, emphasized that the current drug law includes stringent penalties, as promotion and trafficking pose significant threats to society. He pointed out that approximately 49% of the inmates in correctional centers are there due to drug-related cases, with punishments reaching death sentences in cases linked to international crimes or accompanying crimes such as arms smuggling and money laundering. He called for increasing penalties, especially for cases of promotion and trafficking, stressing that promotion is now punishable by a minimum of 5 years in prison, while trafficking can be sentenced to 15 years or more. He also supported maintaining strict penalties regardless of the quantity of drugs confiscated.
