carrying drugs on 44 orcasions during the past seven years, yesterday said
they were "ashnmed" of the record.
An assistent manager With the Shum Cheong Navigation Company, Mr Jimmy

circulars warning the crew about smuggling drugs--but it is beyond our
control."
The ship, which shuttles regularly between Bangkok and Hong Kong, was
reported in [he Legislative Council on Wednesday as having carried
dangerous drugs repeatedly since 1974.

N~ said it was becnuge the ~ilipinos were "more obedient gnd good workers."
The President of Che Hong Kong Shipowners ~xecutive Club, Mr Frank Chao,
said he did not think it fair that under the proposed legisl~Cion owners
should be penalised.
"Th~ owners do not have conCrol over their crews. If a syndicated crew
was paid to traffic in drugs it would be very difficult for the owner to
do anything.
"But if th~z owner is guilty of dealing in drugs, he must certainly be
penalised," he said.
Mr Chao, who is also president of Wah Kwong and Co., said that in his
past 23 years in shipping he has never encountered any drug smuggling.
Ne also e~aid drups huve never been found on board his company's 59 ships.
"It all depends on how strict your company and supervisor is regarding
drugs, and also your captain and crew. Touch wood we have never had any
found on board our ships," he said.
Mr Chao 4aid a regular crew often takes advantage of illegal activities.
"They always behave well and don't argue for more money. They're the
ones that are most difficulK td track down because it's the big money
that att_ra~ts them to the drug trade."
The Cus[oms and Excise Department senior superintendent, Operations,
Mr Walter Neil, said the proposed legislation was brought about because
"something wa~ needed to try to prevent drug smuggling."

(Text] Th~i anti-narcoeic ~gents broke new grnund in their crackdown on the
"Thai Connection" yesterday when they arresCed a 46-year-old Chinese and
charged him with being an accomplice in Che international drug-Crafficking
racker.
The suspecr, the ninCh to be nabbed in the coordfnated crackdown agafnsC a
racket said to have smuggled heroin to the US and Europe, was identiFied as
Chinng Huao, alias rinb sac Chew.

arrest the Police AnCi-Narcotics Centre had issued a warrant.
Sommai, owner of the Wireless Car Rent Co, was accused of being the "fi-
nancfer and supplier" of the Thai Connection broken by Thai and American
narcotics agents last Wednesday.
Police said Chiang Huao is the awner of a red ToyoCa from where 10,600
grammes of heroin were seized last Wednesday when Sarote Sivarat was ar-
rested, also charged with being a member of the international racket.

tsincd for 30 days for fntcrrobation.
Seven oti?cr sus~x:cts, including Lt Col Pradit Attsara of the Supreme Com-
mand, were arrested in separate raids in New York and Los Angeles wiCh seven

Despite Che'PBCC that Barriga Pu~ol had reserved the apartment for himself
and his wife~ individuals unknown to him had occupied it; from which it was
l.ogically in�exred that the drug could have been concealed by any of Che per-

It may be recalled that Barriga Pu~ol ~ras arrested a few daqs ago by agents
of the Federal Jud~cial Police, who searched the busines~s establishmenC known
as "E1 Tamiko," of Which he ~s,tlie owner, where they found an envelope con-
taining a dose of cocaine.
Barriga Pu~ol consistently denied any connection with that drug, and at the
same time claimed that he had never been involved in drug trafficking.
Later, when Barriga appeared before the second district ~udge to make his pre-
liminary statement, he continued to deny the charges brought against him.
At the petition of his defender, Alberto Pinto Arreola, Cestimony was taken
from Jesus Menchaca Galvan and Francisca Arevalo Montes, both of whom are
employees of Barriga Pujol. They reaffirmed the fact that the apartment in
which the Federal Judicial Police had discovered the cocaine was often oc-
cupied by a great many individuals.

Montevideo EL PAIS in Spanish 17 Nov 78 p 9
L~`exJ Almost a score of persons, mostly minor children of both sexes, are
under investigat:ion by agents o� the Narcotics and Dangerous Ihvgs Brigade ~
because of presumed links with trafficking and consumption of hallucinogenics
' and mind-altering drugs as we11 as the falsification of prescriptions.
Included among the arrested persons is ~e proprietor of a drugstore,
accused by various drug users of providing them with the substances in
question, which in some cases were confiscated by the agents operating
in various cases to date.
For some time the aRents of the above-mentioned department of the National
Directorate of Information and Intelligence had centered their attention on
- a group of young drug addicts, expecting to learn where they were obtaining
the restricted drugs (amphetamines and psychotropic substances) and possibly
marihuana. At last the arrests began when clues were found which promise
further results in this delicate investigation. According to information naw
available, 17 persons are in police custody, and it is believed that tomorY�aw
they will begin to enter pleas before the respective courts, assuming that
by then it will be possible to complete further actions ordered by the
Magistrate who has jurisdiction as well as to dismiss charges against those
who can demonstrate they had no connection with the offenses under investiga-
tion. -
In cases of seriot~s im~olvement with drug trafficking, a crime regulated by
Articles 34, 35 and 36 of the January 1975 law (Nwnber 14294) , such persons
will be kept in custody during the trial because they are addicts also.
Sources in the narcotics unit consulted last night by EL PAIS confirmed only
that they are working on the case and declined to make any other comnent,
beca~tse, as they said, police and court officials are keeping these matters
confidential, as is to be expected until the court hearings are held.

As a contribution of Ai.-ItIYr+D in tt~is human concern, it met wiCh Ma~ 'Abd al-

cy and its goals, he said:
Drugs in Saudi Arabia first appeared in small quantities during the 1950's,
r~nd the punishment for possession was very minor (punishment was left up to
~udicial determinatlon). When the government began to sense the danger of
drugs to the ci[izens, it began to combat them. In 1380 (t~ijraJ, small
squads were created to combat drugs and they were attached to General Inves-
ti~ations. This association was terminated on 1 July 1392 [hi.jraJ and was
transferred to Public Security until 16 October 1398 [tiijru] when it was
separeted by a decree from the minister of interior and placed ~snder his
supervision nnd that oE his deputy.
As a result of Saudis' travelin~ abruad and due to the increasinR tiumber of
visitors to the kingdom, at the same time, a major development took place
as this nssociatian revealed the availability of a variety of drugs to
Saudi citizens and visitors. This situation haJ to be confronted firmly
and with effective efforts by the concerned organizations in order to put a

forcement and to train. We continue, however, to develop, at the same time,

(Question] On what basis i$ the penalty for drug us~ and sale determined?
(AnswerJ Ttie government, may God asaist iC, is fully concerned about pro-
tecting its citizens against thc dangers and adverse habits practiced by
others. Drugs are being combated by non-Moslem nations and by atheistic
nations. A,: a mntter of priority, the government is concerned about its
citizens and the sanctity of this nation, and as such, it increased Che nor-
mal penalties, past and present, �or as the gravity of the crime increases
so does the penalty, for it increases and becomes more severe.
[Questionj What are the types of penalties?
[Answerj Tt,ro years in jail for the user; 5 years in ~ail and a fine of 15,000
riyals for the middle-man and the seller; and 15 years in ja:l and a fine
of Z0,000 riyals for the smuggler. TheRe penalties apply to al~ forms of
drugs, and it is up to the ~udge or thP religious court to supplement these
penalties with public flogging as they see fit in a manner that will insure
justice and righteousness.
[Question] Who are the major users and to what social stratum do they be-
long?
[Answer] Assimilation, travel, association and emulation have resulted in
many problems. As such, drugs, especially in the form of (pills and capsules),
have been confiscated from various social strata.
[Question] What danger do visitors pose in the spread of drugs?
[Answer] Some visitors belong to countries where drugs are abundant, and
in some of these countries drug penalties are m~nor. As such these individ-
uals come to the kingdom and are either addicts or are hoping to realize a

[Qu~sCion] Ie there nny cooperation with the lgw enforcement agettcieg from
where thESe visitore come?
(AnawerJ Yes, and during sever~l conferences such cooperaCion among parti- ,
cipating nntione was rerommended, especially cdoperaeion among neighboring i
aCatea. Here we point out the meeCing between His Excellency Emir N~yif ibn

minister of interior, who c~~serted clnse cooperation in this area.
Cooperation also exists with the Arab Egyptiian Republic to the exCent rhat

The episode began when the Agency re~eived informaCion that a gang of smug-
glers intended Co smuggle large quanCities of drugs Co Egypt. The Agency
then followed from the start the steps and movements of the gang until the
gang obtained a car designed according to their 3pecifications which was
loaded with drugs in Beirut while being watched by agents of the Agency.
The loading was completed in Jordan before the car entered Saudi Arabia.
Our agents were asked not to interfere, and the smugglers reached the Jid-
dah port. At the port Agency agents were watching a man whose ~ob was to
follow the car until it has been shipped. He did not leave the port until
he was certain that the ship had started on its way. He then left for Cairo
to inform the smugglers. I myself ~oined in the planning and execution, and
I was following the developments in Cairo with Egyptian o`ficials. 'Che car
was confiscated on the outskirts of Cairo.
[Question] Now that we have the pilgrimage season, is there an increased
danger resulting from the large increase in the numbers of visitors to the
kingdom?
[Answer] Some of the visitors come for the pilgrimage or as visitors, but
in reality this is a cover for their real purpose, which is to sell their
harmful commodities. A few weeks a~so 95,000 capsules and pills of seconal
and amphetamines were confiscated from a person whose visa was for the pur-
pose of the pilgrimage. For this reason the Agency is doubling its efforts
as a state of emergency begins with th~~ arrival of thousands of visitors.

AL-RIYAU also interviewed men of science in order to reveal a clear and
comprehensive picture of ehe adverse effecCs drugs h~ve on Che individual
and society. Dr 'Abdallah al-Bunyan, chairman of the sociology department of
the College of Arta at Riyadh University said:
No one denies the adverse effecCa of drugs on society.
SocieCy develops and advances to the extenC of the capabilities of its mem-
bers to create, excel and to work seriously and construcCtvely. The bases
of a person'a ability to excel and to work seriously and pxoductively is
the clarity of his mind and his being in good health. Th~ use of and ~3d-
diction to drugs, as proven scientifically, leads the individual Co mental
stagnation and physical deterioraCion. As such, his ability to excel, create
and to work productively is impair~d. Undoubtedly, this resulCs in a taa~or
loss to society, and will also cause the person bad relations and problems
with his family, the authoriCies, and society.
As for his relationship to his family= the use of drugs constitutes a finan-
cial drain which impairs the person's productive capabilities and consequent-
ly reduces his income. Finally, this may lead to the displacement of his
entire family due Co hi~� inability to support them. As for his relations
with the authorities, he exists in a state of fear and continual resCless-
ness, and in the event of his arrest, his family will undoubtedly be dis-
placed. And, in his relation to society, he will become the object of
scorn and rejection which will affect him psychologically and in regard to
employment. In the final analysis he is finished as a person and a member
who was supposed to be beneficial to his family and society.
Concerning the effects of drugs on production, Dr Tal'at Inrahim Lutfi,
assistant professor of sociology said:
The problem of drug addiction is one of the deviant behaviors in society, and
like other social problems, is caused by many factors. One important factor
perhaps is the rapid spread of unbanization as the mode of life in modern
society and what usually accompanies it, such as a tendency towards indi-
vidualism, rapid educational change, excessive materialism and cultural
conflict, in addition to a continuous weakness in direct and meaningful re-
lationships. Also, the collapse of the non-governmental means of social
control.

studies are needed to discover the causeg of rhis devianr behnvior, in addi-
tion to the nece~sity of cooperetion between the concerned authorities and
acientista specializing in snciology, psychology, social work, mental healCh
and oChers.
Because of Che adverse effects on public health caused by the use nf drugs,
we met with Dr 'Adil 'Abd al-Mun'im, who ~aid:
~
Alcohol, drugs and trnnquillizer~ all operate through the nervous system
reducing restlessness and nervousness and leading to a feeling of vitality
and mental clarity, in addition to their influence on the psychological state.
Naturally their use may lend to addiction.
The cause of addiction is either psychological whereby the addict feels re-
laxed when he uses drugs despite his knowledge of their harmfulness, or it is
neurological-physiological whereby it affects th~ nervous sysCem making it
dependent on the drug in order to avoid certain physiological and psycholog-
icaL repercussions in the event of wiChdrawal. -
The ill effects of drugs are many, and they mostly affect the nervous system
and the psychological state. They include the symptoms of a chill, insomia,
restlessness, low blood pressure, and a constnat feeling of dizziness and
nausia. Nervous convulsions coulc' occur, and at times the addict might go
through periods of inemory lapses and hallucinations.
And, in the event that large q~antities or doses are taken, this may place
tremendous pressure on the lungs and the heart, causing death.
Also, one of the most dangerous complications is liver deterioration, which
causes death; and stomach and intentinal ulcers. It was found that the rate
of these complications occurring among alcoholics is much greater than among
non-addicts. Also, the affliction may lead to liver and stomach cancer which
occur in a much higher percentage among drug and alcohol addicts.
Even smoking has grave harmful effects on the breathing system, such as
causing a chronic asthma leading to an expansion of the air tunnels and lung
deterioration. It has been proven scientifically that lung cancer is very
frequent among smokers as compared to non-smokers.

Opening Meeting
Abidjan FRATERNIT~-MATIN in French 28 Nov 78 p 5
[Art~cle by Diaby Salif]
[Text] Three years ago.a huge fire
ravaged the "5tar of the 5outh" bar
in Treichville, causing 20,000,000 in
' damage. The disaster arose out of the '
introduction into the "Star of the South"
of a barrel containing gasoline, put there
by drug dealers, stated Lucien Koula recent-
ly. Koula is the leader of the National
Narcotics Brigade; he was speaking before
the participants in the seminar on drugs
organized by the UNO in Abidjan.
Opened on 20 Navember st the Labor Exchange in Treichville by Ouassenan Kone,
Minister of Interiial Security, the seminar will end on 1 December.
In his introduction, Lucien Koula noted that in the Ivory Coast it can be
stated without fear of error that the narcotics problem concerns cannabis and
the psychotropic substances that have been invadirig the clandestine market for
approximately five years.
Until now, fortunately, usage or illicit traffic in opium or its derivatives
has not been confirmed. Of course, cannabis is cultivated in the Ivory Coast.
The police often d:iscover and destroy plantings of 10Guedj i", wh~ch is consumed
in the Ivory Coast in the form of rough cigarettes.
The other forms, such as resin tablets and others, are not yet known in the
Ivory Coast.
Lucien Koula presented several striking cases of illicit traffic in cannabis
experienced by the judiciary police during the last few years.

In J~nu~ry 1977 an autnmobile "drive sh~ft" containing 7,3n0 kg oF crinnabis
was seized; thQ automobile belonged tio a Ghanaian de~ler. Shortly a�terwards
in Ad~hou, in the Toumodi subprefectuxe, 18 bags of c~nnabis weighing
927,600 kg were discovarod and over 3,000 stalks of "the grass that kills" _
- were destroyed by the National Narcotics nrigade.
In N'Djemi, in ~he Jacqueville subprefecture, the Judiciary Polic~ Uepart-
ment discoverod a vast field of Indian hemp which was being maintained by
non-nutionals. Twelve thousand stalks of cannabis were destroyed. ,
I
About the fire at the "5tar of tihe South", Lucien Koula said that "almost
three years before, a barrel had been divided into two equal parts by ar? in- -
genious method of soldexing.
The first half, t}ie base, had been filled with cannabis, while the upper part
contained gasoline. Leaving Ghana, the traffickers were able in that way to
elude the vigilance of Customs and arrive in Abidjr~n.
The drum was delivered to a prostitute who was lodging at the "Star of the
South". And unfortunately the part containing the gasoline caught fire and
the "Star of the South" was ravaged.
So drug traffic has reached a significant volume in the Ivory Coast.
Lucien Koula presented statistics on the subject, revealing that in three
years (1975, 1976, and 1.977), 272 transactions were handled by the police,
resulting in 522 persons, including 79 Ivorians, being handed over to the
Abidjan prasecutor's office.
Obviously, Lucien Koula was speaking of the organization of the fight against
drug traffic in the Ivory Coast, an activity that is within the province of
the National Narcotics Brigade, a special section of the Judiciary Police
Dapartment. The Brigade maintains close relations with the special services
of the United Nations and the OIPC [expansion unknown]-Interpol.
But Lucien Koula believes the fight against drug traffic must be the affair
of all the repression services, especially the gendarmerie and Customs.
"Well", he says, "with some exceptions all the soldiers in this struggle,
whether they are called policemen, gendarmes or customs off:.:~rs, have very
little knowledge of the subject. In fact it is not unusual to hear policemen,
gendarmes or customs officers refer to Indian hemp as apium. We must fill
this gap because of the magnitude of the phenomenon..."
Speaking of the legal aspects of the problem posed by drugs, Lucien Koula
pointed out that infractions of the applicable public health code are punish-
able by three months to five years in prison and a fine of 240,000 to
2,400,000 francs, or one of the two penalties onl,/.
"We think, in the police force, that because of the importance attained by the ~
phenomenon in the Ivory Coast and also because of the harmful effects on man,

more severe sanctions should ba envisionod, to strike ~t thoso who are in-
volved in ~he disorder and to dissu~de those who are not yet involved".
Lucien Koula conclud~d by expressing the ~;hanks of the UNO, which deploys
great offort to train the ogents in charge of the fight against drug traffic
and abuse,
Discussion of Urug Situation
Abidjan FRATERNITB-MATIN in French 30 Nov 78 p 5
[Article by L~man Bakayoko: "':}ie Drug Addict: An Individual to be Taken
Care ofl"]
[TextJ The organizing, under the aegis of the UNO and in our country, of a
training course in illicit.narcotics traffic prevention cannot fail
to arouse real hope. It proves that at last there is very acute awareness of
the problem, and a determination to solve it in a radical way.
However, one �act surprises us, having to do with the Ivorian experience.
Referring to the various reportages by our colleagues, it seems that much
more importance has been attributed to traffic in an~ consumption of Indian
hemp, which tends to minimiZe somewhat the conseQupnces of the toxic products.
However, it behooves us to recognize that the amphetamines are high on the list
in the drug market in our country. Because, as a matter of fact, in addition
to "Guinean Corydrane" (which has the highest consumption--even by persons of
respectable age--among drug imports), the "Binoctal" and "Mandrax" tablets
, are heavily absorbed by our drug addicts. That, moreover, is the kind of drug
that finds the most followers in a certain category of users.
On that subject, one is still astonished by how easy it is for these tablets
to get out--and also circulate--; for they are supposed to be delivered only
on strict medical prescription. In any case, one of the practical measures to
be taken in the fight against drug consumption consists precisely of strict
control of the issuing of toxic products.
And as for the measures, properly speaking we are adopting the thesis of
Dr Pierre Claver, who says:
"Repressive action must be directed solely toward the illicit and detestable
traffic in drugs and na:cotics. Where the individual drug addict is concern-
ed, it is chiefly a c~ue~cion of helping him rehabilitate himself so that he
can give some meaning to his own existence."
- In fact,.the sole effect of Arts 626 and 627 of the Public Health Code could
not help but be an adequate "remedy", a fortiori a panacea, It is certainly
difficult to indicate here what trafficker in "Guinean corydrane", for exam-
~~le, does not consume it himself. But it is obvious that in quite a few cases
t;he penalty of imprisonment becomes inopportune.

Let us tako th~ case of an individu~l who is ~ccustomed to "Binoctal", He
has endod up by Cnnvincing himsel~ thnt without this tablet he c~nnot sleep.
Prison will noL tuke that sad conviction awny from a drug ~ddict o~ that
category. At that stage the problem is one fnr the health p ofessional alone.
- No one can fight without mQans. We think that now, with this course, : -
our agents in all sectors will be able, with much more effectiveness than in
the past, to meet the drug traffic. Sovere court sanctions will contribute
to more effectiveness in that area.
However, there is still the vory dQlicate problem of those who ~~re truly i
suffering from the "rot". Por the drug addict is a sick person, an individ-
ual who must be taken care of. And it is here that the means appear to us to
be limited. In fact, the "Blue Cross Center" in Williamsville--which has al-
ready proved its capability, but receives mostly alcoholics--is still the on-
ly one. For that reason, in anticipation of broad and clear success against
drug crimes, we must first inc.rease the present center's capability to re-
ceive, and then we must create new ones,
Assuredly, the struggle against the drug phenomenon will be one of the boldest,
but the stakes--protecting society by rehabilitating and readapting the indi-
vidual drug addict--is worth the trouble.
UNO Narcotics Division Official
Abidjan FRATERNITE-MATIN in ~rench 1 Dec p 9
[Article by Diaby SalifJ
[Text] Mr Megali, Doctor of Law, is a tnember of the central training group
of the UNO Narcotics Uivision at Geneva. The participants in the seminar that
opened at the Labor Exchange in Treichville on 20 November followed with in-
terest his statements about illicit narcotics traffic, drug-detecting dogs
and international agreements.
About the agreements Mr Megali recalled last Wednesday at the Labor Exchange _
that the first international meeting on drugs took place in 1909. After that
there were many agreements, protocols, commissions and control organizations.
In fact, one could no longer find one's way among them and in 1961 it was de-
cided that what was called a single agreement should be formed.
This agreement is single because it rests on one text, one control organiza-
tion. And as Mr Megali emphasizPS, the innovation is that maintaining control
over crops is the chief objective of the agreement.
.��''The leader of the Abidjan seminar emphasizes that the single agreement does
- not give legal definition to narcotics.
"If one wants to know whether s::~mething is a narcotic according to the single
agreement, he ~hould refer to ths appendix tables, of which there are four.

"There is opium ~nd thare are opiates (opiat~s being products derived from
opium, morphine b~so, morphino, horoin ~nd codeina). There is coca lvaf und ~
cannul~is,
"In addition to~those natural products there are a number of synthetic pro-
ducts. Thus,~tn~tliadone and pethidine correspond to opium. Among the syn-
thetic products tranquilizers, sedatives and barb?.turates are distinguished."
The agreement on psychotropic substances is a recent on~. It dates from 1971
and deals with` hallucinogens, especially "LSD, which brings on a distortion of
the central nervous system in the sense that one who takes it sees music and
hoars colors."
In the area of hallucinogens there are products which are unknown in Africa or
Europe. "There is the famous Mexican cactus, peyote", Mr Megali indicates. ~
"The Indians eat it and drink it,"
There are also mushrooms, from which is derived a substance called mescaline.
Mr Megali indicates that "Generally, the single agreement, which includes both
natural and synthetic products, and the agreement on psychotropic substances,
when they are ratified bring with them obligations on the part of the states
_ that are to work out the laws and regulations and set up a special administra-
tion enabling their execution.
"Thus, when a country decides to grow opium, it is obliged to see to it that '
the growing and the harvesting are done by a state-owned company. If it is a
privately-owned company it could have a special license.
"The growing of opium must be a state monopoly. That is the case with Turkey,
Iran and India. Opfwn must be grown, because it yields basic products tliat
humanity needs, morphine, for example, which relieves pain."
Opium leads to heroin. Now, to mention heroin is to mention illicit traffic
and addiction. Then the laboratory of the UNO Narcotics Division in Geneva
looked for and found a variety of opium poppy that does not contain heroin.
It is another product, called thebaine. ~
And as Mr Megali puts it, "Another example is that it was believed that opiwn,
like cannabis, must have a natural enemy. They found this insect. But the
UNO does not want to give it to the countries that are requesting it, because
the insect is also known to eat cereals".
Opium growing, it is well known, represents the sole source of revenue for
the populations of certain a-:~eas of Asia. One of the concerns of the UNO is
to persuade those people ;,o give up that ancestral activity in order to orient
~ themselves to substitute crops.
On this subject Mr Megali notes that the UNO program is especially interested
in Thailand, where five pilot villages have been created.

ing tob~ccn, potatoos und bcuns. Tlio UNO's action should promote the creation

Mr Megali says in conclusion that the countries participating in the Abidjan
seminar--5enegal, Niger, 'Cogo, Benin and the Ivory Coast, have ratified the _
agreements. But it is not enough to xatify tliem. They must be applied. A
_ srecial aclministration must be set up, ~
"The UNO's goal is to tr~in people so tlie p~rticipating countries may apply I
the agreements", says Mr Megali. "For international control is inconceivable
unless there is national control. One depends upon the other."

of work. The closing session was pre-
sided over by OuassPnan Kone, minister
of Internal.Security. At his side were
David Smith, resident representative of .
the Uni~ted Nations in AUidjan,
Koblan i-luberson, general manager of
National Security, as well as members
of the executive committee of the UGTCI
~ lGeneral Union of Ivory Coast Workers].
After the swnmary report presented by Mr Megali, a member of the centxa], train-
_ ing group of the UNO Narcotics Division at Geneva,,"it is permissible to state
that the seminar has been a great success, especially considering the variety
and import .nce of the subj ects dealt with" .
On that subject, it should be stated that the central training group, in order
to enliven the Abidjan seminar, called on a number of speakers representing
WHO, Interpol, t}ie International Organization for Narcotics Control, customs
and the French police.
_ The summary report stated that "the discussions crystallized chiefly on the
question of whether the drug addict siiould be subject to the severity of the
law, or whether on the contrary he should be considered a sick person and
should even be given treatment.
The answer to that question was to depend upon an interministerial commission,
which would be formed and would outline a concerted policy to be sanctioned by

The swnmary report ~lso stresses "that it was acknowledged that the internat-
ional fight, as well as control of the work on that level, could not succeed
without the existence on the national level o� the indispensable cooperation
' between all the interested services, as well as equally effective control.
Lacking that, the dealer will easily slip through the net".
In his speech;,David Smith thanked the Ivory Coast government for its cooper-
ation in organizing the seminar. He also expresssd his thanks to the gov-
ernments of Benin, Niger, Sene~al and Togo for having coopera~ed with the '
United N ations~by sending participants to the seminar.
DaVid Smith then proceeded to present diplomas to the participants. Before ~
declaring the seminar closed, Ouassenan Kone took the floor to express his
gratitude, on behalf of the countries represented, to the UNO for the useful
work which had just been arcomplished.
Addressing the participants, he formulated the hope that the training lavish-
ed upon them may result in a more effective fight against drugs. The min-
ister of Internal Security urged all the services concerned to collaborate
closely for the mission's success.
A~cocktail party brought the participants together at 1800 at the "Former

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON KAT HELD IN MADAGASCAR I

[Text] DocCor Braeden, director of the Una~~dinaaiconferenceeofaexperts~on
tory, will be here next SaCurday to take p
kat being held in this capital under the aegis of the United Nations, from
27 November to 1 December.
The purpose of this conference will be to compile and discuss the available ~i
botanical, pharmacological, and especially the chemical data on the composi-
' tion of products extracted from Che plant.
Experts from Great Britain, Egypt, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Norway,
Hun~;ar~, USA, and from the United Nations labor~;coxy will take part in this
conf'erence, whose solemn opening on Monday 27 tln~rember at 1000 hours in Che
conference hall uf the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Anosy will be pres:Lded
over by Mr Rakoto Ignace, minister of education and scientific research.
Kat has anoretic properties, which acutely deaden the sensations of hu;~ger
and fatigue in its users. But when chewed, this plant, which is also a
stimullnt of the central nervous system, produces a state of euphoria fi~llowed
by ecstasy. Kat also has aphrodisiac properties, which explains its ab~~sive
use and its cumulative ill effects.
Kat was introduced into northwest Madagascar by the Somalis around 1946-47.,
Its cultivation and use are now sp~reading westw~~rd (Ambilobe, Ambanja, Nosy
Be) and eastward (particularly Vohemar). A small tentacle has already spread
to the capital and efforts to cultivate it have been observed in the area of
Toliary. It scientific name is Catha Edulis. However, kat is truly ravaging
East Africa now.
In France, it is classified under Table "C" of.~ poisonous substances. In
Yemen, its cultivation and use have been prohibited since 1972, when all
plantings throughout the country were destroyed.

duc~d in Madagascar, in Antsiranana to be more precise, by the 5omalis,
around 1940. Its cultivation has spre~d over the western side of the island,
and the number of.its users has dangerously increased from year to year, the
more so because of its aphrodisiac proerties.
Its Pffects are dangerous. The habitual user--this drug is chewed--loses his
ser,se uf hunger and seemingly lives in a conssant state of euphoria. Moreover,
it contains carcinogenic substances.

them that narcotics have inundated the capital, is ~he followinq:
"Sir, I wi12 give you right now 100,000 drachmas. Wi~'~in 3 hours,
car. you brinq me a gxam of hashish?"
T'~he other person, of course, is taken aback. and then they say to him:
"!b not believe the rumors. To be sure, there are narcotics addicts
� and peddlers of narcot3cS in Athens, but not so many as the newspapers
wr.ite that there are. The authorities are ii~ control of the situation
at: all times . . . . "
W~.thout a doubt, this is correct. The police authorities have control
of the situation, and no ane can fafl to notice thei,r repeated successes
in. this sector in the breaking up of qanqs, in the arrest of various
criminals of this ~ypf:, and so forth.

Narcotics Addicts on Increase -
But these are nnly soine examples. If we continue-~in the languaqe of
figures--we will discover further that:
mhe Athens Gener.al Security arrested 72 persons in 1968 for the use or -
selling of narcotics, 115 persons in 1969, and 199 persons in 1970.
the Salonica region, ths drug addicts numbered S00 persons in 1968,
and accordinq to the data from the Salonica General Security in the
two fol:owinq years they increased ta 1,000. Within the 4 years o�
1967-1970, 17 persons died from narcUtics and nnly 2 were cured. In all
probability, the true cause ~f deaths of narcotics addicts is concealed
for understandable reasons from the families of the victims, and they
are attributed to other causes.
The typical you.~g narcotics addict:; of this period were persons aged
19-24 years old.
But let us return to *.he "cold" figures:
Every year, 40 drug addicts are treated at the Athens Public Psychiatric
Hospital for detoxification, with an averaqe length of treatment of
40 days. Another 60-65 are treated for a secon3 or a third time.
Origin of Narcotics in Greece
From 1965 to 1975, 400 patients were treated at the Detoxification
C:inic, while another 1,000 people passed through the outpatient _
departments of this institution.
