POLICE OFFICIAL CITES BALI AS CENTER FOR NARCOTICS DEALING
- Jakarta HARIAN UMLTM AB in Indonesian 14 Mar 81 p 6
[Excerpts] Police Regional Command XI, Nusantara has been unable to break the
- network which uses Bali as a center for narcotics dealing.
The chief of Police Regional Command XI, Police Brigadier General Pamoed3i,
whv will leave that post in a few days to take over as chief of Police Region X,
- East Java, told ANTARA on Wednesday that his command had been unable to break
the ring because the means and capability of his personnel are limited.
He noted that Bali needed several dogs especially trained for narcotics work,
and needed personnel with technical training and command of foreign languages.
" Singapore, which is the size of Batam, has k0 dogs trained for narcotics work.
Pamoed~i indicated ttiat he had reported to his superiors about the limitations
of his command's means to detect narcotics.
"The problem is tliat trained dogs are very expensive and are difficult to get,"
he added.
He noted that several police personnel have received special training in narcotics
work, and have trained abroad.
"As has been pointed out, Bali is a center for narcotics transactions, and we
have been unable to break the ring."
Pamoedji said that it was "logical" for Bali to be a site for narcotics deals.
- On a blackboard, he listed the narcotics producing nations in Indochina, and
the narcotics consuming nation, Australia, and explained that "geographically,
Ba1i is an ideal center for narcotics traffic."
Narcotics traffic between Thailand and Australia use several international
airfields for transit. The route is Bangkok-Hong Kong-Jakarta-R~li-Australia.
"This is a difficult problem. Police in Bali can intercept only a small portion
of the traffic, mostly gan~a leaves," Pamoed~i noted.

Jakarta MERDEKA in Indonesian 5 Mar 81 p 2
[Text] The research unit of 832 Police Regency, Karawang recently siezed 7.812
kilograms of hashish, and arrested three distributors. The three suspects are
Suk, 27; H Bah, alias Ud, 45; and H. Day, 45.
� Po7ice Sergeant Tisna Bukti, a member of *_he research unit, told MERDEKA in his
office Monday that Suk was arrested in Karawang at 0900 on Fridly. !i. Day and
H. Bah were taken in Bogor Reg~ncy.
Seven tins of narcotics were siezed. The arrests were made after an informant
revealed that the goods were in the Jonggol area of Bogor Regency. According to
the informant, Suk was to bring the goods to Karawang, and sell them at 3~4
million Rupiahs per tin.
The informant later pretended to seek to buy the narcotics, and reported to a i
member of the Karawant Research Unit.
- Police lst Lieutenant Kurniawan, chief of the research unit, ordered several
unit members to perform the arrest. Suk was arrested at about 0900 Friday,
along with a tin containing 1.116 kilograms of hashish.
Under interrogation, Suk revealed who owed the drugs. Based on his information,
the owner, H.Day, was arrested in the Jonggol area of Bogor Regency. The police
also siezed six tins of narcotics, each containing 1.116 kilograms of hashish.
Moments after H. Day was arrested, the Karawang Research Unit arrested H. Bah,
a suspected link in the distribution of rhe hashish.
_ Interrogation of the suspects revealed that Day had obtained the hashish from
- H Bah, who had acquired it during a religious pilgrimage to Mecca last year.
1 The Police Headquarters Criminology Laboratory in Jalc~rta is currently studying
the evidence. The three suspects are now under detention in Karawang.

HE~OIN SMUGGLERS ARRESTED AT IiALIM AIRPORT
Jakarta SINAR HARAPAN in Indonesian 7 Mar 81 p 2 -
[Excerpts] The case involving the smuggling of 5 kilograms of heroin through
- Halim Perdanakusumah Airport in May 1980 has been concluded, and will go to _
- trial in the Court of First Instance, East Jakarta. r
~ The suspect and his accomplices planned to smuggle 20 kilograms of heroin to -
- The Netherlands. Customs officials at Halim arrested Mrs SRU with the first 5 Kg
" shipment. ~his was followPd with the arrest of CKS. The source of the drugs,
TKH, who is based in Medan, escaped arrest. Another accomplice, CAM, a connecting -
link in the smuggling ring, is reportedly in detention in Amsterdam.
On 2 Ju1y 1979, the gruup met at Hotel "S," Jalan Batu Ceper, Jakarta, and
_ agreed that CAM would turn over the heroin to TKH in Malaysia, for transport to
Medan via sea. The heroin would then go to Jakarta, and be flown to Amsterdam. _
The plan was confirmed at a 3 July 1979 meeting between TKH and Mrs SRU in
Hotel "M," Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, Jakarta. It was decided that TKH and
Mrs SRU would bring the heroin to Amsterdam. Mrs SRU would take 5 kilograms of
heroin in the initial stage. She was to get 5 million Rupiahs. _
'Phe plotters intended to transfer the heroin to CAM in the Hilton Hotel, Amster
Amsterdam, on 4 or S May, 1980. Customs officials siezed the heroin, worth
$25 milli~on, from Mrs SRU's luggage, and arrested Mrs SRU and CKH, who accompanied
her to Halim.
A SINAR HARAPAN source said that Mrs SRU would be called only as a witness. ~

that narcotics use is heavy in that area, but users manage to elude police
raids. There are def~.nite code words to use in narcotics deals, so that thp
distributar will know. "We have arrested several narco~rics traffickexs f rom that
area, but new ones quickly emerge," said an official of the research unit

CANADIANS ARRESTED WITH HEROIN
Bangkok ~AO SIAM in Thai 27 Feb 81 pp 1,2
[Excerpts] Two international heroin trafficke rs of Canadian nationality were
- arrested while they were in the act of placing e.i_ght "Michai" condoms filled -
_ with heroin in each other's anuses. This took place in their room at a hotel
in the middle of Bangkok. They were preparing to take a night flight out of ~
the country. Police from the Metropolitan Narcotics Control Unit had learned
of this and took a force of 10 officers there. They broke down the door and
caught the men red-handed. They seized eight pouches of heroin valued at
8 million baht.
This resulted from an i.nvestigati.on by Police Captain Amaretrit Wattanaphibun
and Police Captain Surachit Noiphan, officers with the Narcotics Control Unit
of the Commissioner's Office of the Metropolitan Police. They had learned that _
- two foreigners who were members of an international narcotics gang had entered
Thailand posing as tourists. They had purchas ed heroin and made preparations
to sell it abroad. At the time of their arres t the two foreigners were staying
in Room 97 on the second f loor of the Astra Hotel on New Phetburi Road in Mag-
_ kasan Precinct, Huai Khwang Ward. They were readying the heroin for transport
abroad. They were going to take a Pan Am flight that was to leave at 0100 hours
on 26 February.
Thus, at 2300 hours on 25 February, Police Cap tain Amaretrit took a force of _
- 10 policemen to Room 97 of this hotel.
The officials interrogated both foreigners and learned that they were Mr Jillet
- Masricot, age 27, and Mr Michell Longpri, age 26. Both are Canadians.

$ RIEFS
ANTI-DRUG PROPOSAL--The Democratic Labour Party (DLP} is concerned abou t the -
drug use and its abuse in Barbados, and has suggested the setting up of a
National Committee on Drug Abuse. Oppositicn MP, Mr Evelyn Greaves, said in
zhe House of Assembly on Tuesday night that the DLP was concerned aboLt this.
He called for the strengthening of the Customs Department, "to ensure that all
avenues which exist for the illegal bringing in of drugs should be blocked out -
~ in order to control drugs from that ~ource." He said that the DLP was particu-
larly concerned about the use of drugs by young people. The MP noted that al- 4
ready there was legisl:ation on the Statute Book, but he added that the DLP would
like to see "every effort made on a national level." Mr Greaves said the drug
abuse had reached such a proportion that there ought to be a national awareness. -
He said that the Customs Department should b~~: complimented for the way in which =
it had been ferreting out persons who bring r.~arijuana into the island. He also _
queried the importation of garments illegally into Barbados. The MP said that -
he had seen and heard complaints about compa~:~es ~rsporting goods here in contra-
vention of certain acknowledged arrangements. [Text] [Bridgetown ADVOCATE-NEWS

INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO DISCREDIT NATION TERMED IRRATIONAL
La Paz EL DIARIO in Spanish 16 Mar 81 p 2
[Editorial]
[Text] Just when it looked as if the campaign against Bolivia in important news
media were winding down, reports from abroad began to step up the effort, adding
new ingredients, to give the impression that in Bolivia the processing and
mark~ting of cocaine has the backing of the government, or at least of key
government figures. There has been no proof of these charges; everything is based
on assumptions and speculation stemming from possible clues. This demonstrates
that there are ulterior motives involved here, bordering on the irrational.
Most worrisome is the fact that this entire campaign, instead of discrediting men
and politicians, has sullied the reputation of a whole nation, co such an extreme
~ that these days the name Bolivia is almost synonymous wi~h cocaine and drug
addiction. This unjust and vile accusation deserves clear, irrefutable and
definitive answers aimed at unmasking the real objectives of the campaign. On
another occasion we pointed out objectively that no one denies or doubts that Boli-
via has traditionally produced coca, a plant used by the aborigenes of these re-
gions since time immemorial. In a way, coca is part of ~he habitat. But the idea
of making cocaine was not born in Bolivia; it is an inve ntion that came from out-
side our borders. The marketing and trafficking of the drug began when men
bearing dollars came here and began to awaken a commercial interest among some
natives. What at first seemed to be very insipid, almost a small adventure, in
time became the tremendous drug business of today.
But what has motivated and stimulated this illegal attitude? First of all--one
need not be a specialist to realize this--there is a consumer market. Where is
the market? The answer springs up immediately, because it is so easy ~o pinpoint
on the map: i_n the great urban centers, where economic and social development ha~
reached almost inconceivable levels. In other words, the consumer ele~;.~~nt exist;;
where there is an abundance of money to pay the high cost of the drugs, and where
society has reached that point of satisfaction and ennui with normal life, and
- people begin to look for other ingredients to deride their idleness and boring,
routine lives. It is there also where the large organizations are created to
carry out the importation and marketing of the drug. Those are the elements who
have reached Bolivia with fistfuls of dollars to organize bands to manufacture
; cocaine. At first they engaged in routine activities, but later they began to

employ tremendous technical resources. Within this large conglomerate, there are
probably Bolivian citizens who have been tempted by the promise of easy winnings.
It is certain that even humble peasants have been skillfully lured into these
traps, but that is not enough to incriminate an entire natior nor should it be a
_ motive to oppose a government, no matter what its origin and composition.
In view of this depressing situation, what we need is a coordinated effort by the
countries that produce the raw material and those where the drug is sold (il-
legally, of course). Only with an effort of this sort will the anti-drug campaign
be s:~ccessful. Until then, the struggle of a single country--Bolivia in this
_ case--with meager economic and technical resources is hopeless and painful.
Moreover, we must conf ront the international offensive that has drawn the active
_ participation of clearly identified political elements and ideological sectors
that mistakenly thought they had found a disgraceful way to combat a government.

NEW NARCOTICS CONTROL BOARD ELIMINATES DISTRIBUTION CENTERS
La Paz ULTIMA HORA in Spanish 14 Mar 81 p 9
[Text] In one of its first communiques, dated yesterday, the new Council on the `
- St~uggle against Drug Trafficking, in cooperation with the Department of Control,
Supervision and Marketing of Coca, has closed down all the coca distribution
centars.
The communique contains the following measures:
1. All coca distribution centers in the country will be shut down as of this date
because they do not have the Registration and Census documents recessary for
their operation, and because the distribution network has been modified. There-
fore, no distribution center is authorized to operate.
, 2. All coca marketing licenses for the categories of sellers or intermediaries
are now null and void, since it has been found that the former are speculators
who e xploit the product, and the latter are directly responsible for the -
trai~sp ort of the raw material to places where iC is processed into the drug
commo.n ly known as /cocaine/ [word enclosed in slantlines printed in boldface].
3. All licenses issued as of 15 December 1980 for the retail category are still
v~lid, because it has been found that the people in this category merely sell
coca by the pound, and have nothing to do with the scourge of drug trafficking.
_ In or der to purchase coca, from now on they must go to the Central Coca
Depositories that are being set up in Chuquiaguillo, La Paz and Sacaba, Cochabamba.
4. All coca producers in Los Yungas, Chapare and other production regions must
take t heir products to the Coca Depositories that are being created as of this
date. In no case should the producers sell their product outside these depositor-
ies. V iolation of this provision will lead to the confiscation of the product.
5. Fo r the transf er of coca to the interior of the country, local depository bran-
ches are being set up i.n the following cities: Oruro, Santa Curz, Potosi, Sucre,
Tarija, Trinidad, Uyuni, Tupiza, Cobija, Desaguadero, Copacabana, Puerto Acosta,
Villa z on, Yacuia, Bermejo, Puerto Suarez, and Guayaramerin. Retailers may go to -
those branches to purchase the product for daily sale, at a rate of six cylinders -
per month.

_ 6. ContracCors accredited with the Department of Con~rol, Supervision and Market-
ing of Coca to supply the Mining Corporation of Bolivia (COMIBOL), the National
Mining Chamber and sugar mills, must update their documents and deposit the
neCessary bond under this new system.
7. The retailers who until now have been selling coca witrout the necessary author-
ization must obtain a license from the Department of Control, Supervision and Mar-
keting at the central office in La Paz.
8. The producers who have not obtained a census registration must go to the Coca -
Control Department and submit their property deeds, and then obtain the registra- -
tion. It will be granted provisionally until the census of coca growers, soon to
be initiated, is finished.
As a result of these measures, which are effective on this date, and with the
elimination of the intermediaries, coca will return to its normal value instead
of the speculative price that prevailed until yesterday. This step is highly bene-
ficial to the poorer classes who really chew coca.

NEWLY APPOINTED OFFICIAL APPEALS TO YOUTH TO JOIN FIGHT ON DRUGS
La Paz PRESENCIA in Spanish 24 Mar 81 p 4 _
[Teat] Santa Cruz, 23 March--Calling upon youth the join the battle against drug
trafficking, the new chief of the narcotics office, Lt Col Lucio Loayza, took
office in this district.
Loayza is replacing Col Jose Carnacho of the National Guard for Public Security
(GNSP), who was accused by drug trafficking suspects of being an accomplice in
this activity and engaging in a cover-up.
Col Camacho requested an indefinite leave of absense shortly after being accused,
in order to prepare his defense. He maintained that the accusation was vile and
slanderous, and that he would file criminal charges against his accusers.
- In a press conference called by the Eighth Army Division, where ten suspects were
turned over to regular justice officials, ~he narcotics chief was accused of
being involved in these activities. At least two of the suspects claimed to -
military authorities that Col Camacho knew about a large-scale cocaine �acCory
that was raided by the army on the highway to Camiri.
Military Actions
Meanwhile, the army continues to carry out its sweep-up operations in this
district, using troops with special training in anti-guerrilla warfare, the
so-called Green Berets of the Ranger Regiment.
Tne local press, quoting "reliable source s," reported today on new operations by
- the Manchego regiment. Since Monday, it was reported, at least six more coczine
- factories have been discovered. .
_ This means that more than a dozen factories have been discovered and raidcd by
the army since the armed forces announced their participation in the baltle
against cocaine trafficking.
- In a related development, a committee of the National Commission on the Struggle
= against Drug Trafficking, recently created, is operating in Santa Cruz. It is
headed by Col David Fernandez, former minister of the interior, who reportedly -
came to inspect the regional offices and to coordinate activities.

claimed that a meeting of drug trafficking and cocaine processing ringleaders was
- held recently. ~
Col Moises Chirique stated that in recent days in Mon~ero, the second-largest
city of the department, there was a meeting of drug trafficking leaders. They
agreed to send two emissaries to Brazil to hire gunmen.
The measure supposedly was designed to counterract the intensive effort by the
armed forces, and to eliminate those who are leading the repression effort, said

Survey on Coca Cultivation
La Paz HOY in Spanish 23 Mar 81 p 4
[Text] A survey is being conducted in E1 Chapare to determine the incidence ~f
coca cultivation, reported officials of the Ministry of Peasant Af�airs.
= According to the preliminary data compiled so far, they said, during the last
2 years the groduction of coca in this region has increased fivefold over that of
the immediately preceding periods.
Land under Cultivation
All the data indicate that most of the arable land in the region has been used
- for coca cultivation.
In recent years citrus fruits, rice and other food products have been replaced by
coca in this manner.
Survey
The survey will determine for certain the degree, to which coca production has
overtaken other crops.
For this purpose, the last 2 years are being used as a base period, and in the
near future a study will be made of the last decade, so as to undertake a compara-
tive analysis of the region's agricultural and socioeconornic situation.
This research, they stated, will also reveal to what extent local peasants and
settlers can replace those crops, and with what other products, to assure them of
a srable income.
The survey is about to be finished, and once it is completed the data will be
processed by computer. Later a similar study will be made of other areas of coca
leaf production.
Coca Depositories to Be Established
La Paz HOY in Spanish 22 Mar 81 p 9
- [Text] Two large cocaine depositories will be established in order to control
the marketing of the leaf.
This information was obtained from the explanation provided by authorities of the
National Council on the Struggle against Drug Trafficking, an organization whose
goal is the total eradication of the illicit activity. In recent times drug
trafficking has attained dramatic proportions.
- The Department of Control, Supervision and Marketing of Coca is now undertaking
the necessary studies to enable it to set up the depositories, which will be loca-
ted in Los Yungas, La Paz and E1 Chapare, Cochabamba.

The marketing of the leaf will be allowed only for the purpose of traditional -
consumption, and the principal market for such consumption is in the rural areas
and mining districts.
According to the report put out by the authorities, one of the reasons for the
growth in the processing and marketing of cocaine is the uncontrolled production
- of coca leaves in the above-mentioned areas.
The control effort will take time, because the illegal activity cannot be eradi-
cated immediately, given the complex organization of the drug traffickers that
are operating in the country.
By next week the complete team of the National Council on the Struggle against
Drug Trafficking should have been formed, with representatives of all the
agencies designated by the Supreme Decree. -
This council will determine the policy to be followed and the manner in which
strategies will be implemented in order to control the illegal activity in this
country.

MAJOR DRUG TRAFFICKER IN RURAL ZONE, SEPETIBA ARRESTED

f
[Text] Led by an anonymous tip, police of the Narcotics Division
i ~
arrested drug trafficker Waldir Ferreira, known as Waldir
Orelinha," in Campo Grande yesterday. Ferreira, aged 43, is one of ,
the major suppliers to lesser traffickers who operate in the Rural ~
_ Zone and in Sepetiba. As he left his luxurious residence at Rua
Hildegard Noronha 34, handcuffed and accompanied by his '~rother
Walter, who was also arrested, Ferreira shouted to a group of neigh-
bors: "The w.awb,.m~.� ` _
_ y(the police) are trying to ruin me; you are witne~ses,
it's all a frame-up!" _
Earlier, the'police had arrested Federal Highway patrolman Jose Gomes Mendonca as
_ he was leaving the house. Mendonca, abed 25, was armed with a.38-caliber -
revolver and was charged with possession of a firearm. Explaining his presence _
- there, Mendonca said he had come to buy a taxi from Waldir (he showed 55,000
cruzeiros), but that Waldir had not transferred title and the deal was not con-
su~nated. At that time, the police learned that "Oreliiiha" was known to Mendonca -
as "Horatio." -
Several packets of cocaine were found--about 28 grams--as were envelopes of mari-
huana, many cancel.ed checks, bank deposit receipts, check stubs, a scale, a 12-
gauge shotgun, and two .38- and .22-caliber revolvers.
Accusation
An anonymous tip led to the arrest of Waldir Orelinha, who says he is an estab-
lished businessman in Campo Grande, at Estrada do Lanneirao Pequeno 98. The in-
dividual who reported him gave investigator Nelio Machado the name and address
of the trafficker, claiming Waldir was responsible for supplying drugs to traf-
fickers in the Rural Zone and in S~:petiba and that he only dealt in large quan-
tities. The informant added that the drugs were stored in Waldir's hous e, and
- that he only delivered them personally to the traffickers, at previously arranged -
- locations.
- The accusation 1ed to 10 days of investigation, until the police were certain
that the narcotics were stored in the house. The police were impressed by the
- movement around Waldir's house, especiall.y automobile traffic and especially in

the early morning hours, when even more people appeared. Delegate Walterson
Botelho requested and obtained a search warrant. When the police arrived at
the house, they arrested highway patrolman Mendonca and ordered hi~ to call
Waldir out. When Waldir saw it was the police, he attempted to prevent the
agents from entering, but he had to yield to force. In one of the bedrooms,
in two dresser drawers, police found a shotgun with the inscription "Signal
Pistol Mark 5 R. F. Sedgley Inc 19441," and two revolvers, as well as arnmuni-
tion for the latter and sixteen 9-mm bullets.
- In the same place the police also found 28 grams of cocaine, small packets of
marihuana, check stubs, deposit receipts, tickets and other papers. Another
packet of marihuana was found in the kitchen, under the refrigerator. From the
bedroom, the police also confiscated an automobile radio, five tape players, a
tape recorder, three amplifiers, money and three checks. In one of the base-
ment rooms they found a scale, which was also confiscated.
, Confession
- The search of the house lasted about 2 hours, in the presence of Waldir, his
wife, his brother Walter, Walter's wife, and patrolman Mendonca. Seeing that
further denial would be futile, Waldir decided to talk. He said that shortly
_ before the c.srnival period, in Sepetiba, he had bought 250 grams of cocaine
_ from traff icker "Toninho Biagio," whose real name is Antonio Marcio Biagio.
lie paid 750 cruzeiros per gram, to be sold at 1,250 cruzeiros.
He added that he had a few kilos of marihuana, but he refused to name his sup-
plier. He said the marihuana found in his house was for his owu use. _
- Waldir has three automobiles, a duplex apartment on the Estrada do Lameirao -
Pequeno and a"Kombi" [van]. He has owned bars, bakeries anc~ warehouses. The
house he lives in belongs to his wife, who inherited it.
Waldir's police file, forwarded by the Felix Pacheco Institute, indicates that -
he has already been charged with one hold-up, two assaults, possession of a _
weapon and one charge of corruption of minorG. The charged were all brought _
in the 35th Police Precinct in Campo Grande.

DRUG TREATMENT SERVICE TO BE INITIATED ON 15 APRIL
Rio de Janeiro 0 GLOBO in Portuguese 27 Mar 81 p 12
[Text] On 15 April, a drug treatment and rehabilitation service will go into
operation in the Narcotics Division. The plan for creation of the service was
- appro~red by Gen Waldyr Muniz, secretary of security, who dEtermined that it
should be executed as quickly as possible.
Two psychiatrists, a social worker, a psychologist and a nurse's aid, as well as
trainees in their last year, will be on duty in the Drug Division. One of the -
main functions is to provide guidance for parents and to present lectures in
high schools and colleges on the dangers of drug use.
Psychiatrist Osmar Santos, who is responsible for execution of the program, said _
that the dependents are younger and younger, and the critical problem is now in
the 13- to 18-year age bracket. Chief Rogerio Monte Karp, director of the DPE
[Specialized Police Department], and Valterson Botelho, chief of narcotics,
= joined Osmar Santos in explaining how the service will function.
A similar service has already functioned in the Narcotics Division in Niteroi.
It was created by Monte Karp in 1971. On suggestion of Botelho, the same team
that worked there is being transferred to Rio, where the servic.e will be ex-
pand ed .
Karp declared that student Mauro Roberto Franceschi da Silveira, who died last
week of a drug overdose, might have been saved if the service had already been
in operation. -
= Karg said that, with the new drug law, the addict who has been convicted could
be obliged to ~*:dergo treatment for up to 2 years.
' "We want to create a new philosophy. With Chis service, ~.nstead af going to
_ jail, the degendent would see a psychiatrist. Thus, even during the police
phase, he would receive adequate treatment. It would not be necessary to put
him in a cell together with dangerous criminals, which is always bad."
The chief explained that, later, the dependent would be sent to a clinic of
IASERJ, INAMPS [National Institute for Social Security Medical Assistance] or _
_ 32

IPASE jWelfare and Aid Institute for Civil Servants], where treatment would con-
tinue until the police investigation was completed. Generally, there should be
nd internments in the Narcotics Division service.
The DPE director also explained tihat he would direct all police precincts ta send
addicts directly to the Narcotics Division on their arrest. _
"Either because of the effect of the drug or because of withdrawal, he could have _
an unexpected reaction to his arrest. For this reason, it is not advisable to
put an addict in a common cell." ~
Parents
~ Valterson Botelho said that lately he has had visits from parents seeking advice ;
because their children are drug addicts. This was one of the reasons that led
him to order expansion of the existing service in Niteroi. Psychiatrist Santos
said the results obtained in Niteroi were very good.
"Among the men, we achieved a recovery ra~e of between 70 and 80 percent. As
_ for the women, the rate was 30 to 40 percent. The female addict always presents
a higher profile of affect. [She may be suff~ring from] the loss of virginity
or unrequited love. Hence her recovery is very diff icult."
Santos said that, until recently, 80 percent of the addicts treated were mari-
' huana users. Now, he observed, there has been a considerable increase in the
number of cocaine addicts being treated.
i
Santos called attention to the use of shoemaker's glue and "lanca-perfumes"
[et her atomizers]. .
"Lately, the use of the 'lanca-perfume' has increased greatly, to enhance enjoy-
ment of a certain kind of music. It c~eates a psychological dependency. They
have banned the music of Baby Consuelo, who sang about 'baseado' [marihuana],
but the 'lanca-perfume' is stilZ around." '
Among the plans for the Narcotics Division service is creaCion of the First Anti- ~
drug Week, during which various professionals will undertake to explain the dan-
gers of drugs, through lectures, slide exhibits and displays of drugs. Emphasis
will be on prevention.

Second Operatianal Sector of SORFA (Automobile Robb eries and Thefts). On ques-
tioning, he said he bought the cocaine for 10,000 cruzeiros and received the
marihuana as a"bonus" (a "present"). Alejandro said his suppliers were Ricardo ~
~arros Belloti, aged 21, and a man. wearing a yellow shirt, later identified as
Antonio Jose Pereira de Freitas, aged 26. The two men were arrested, but denied
the allegation. On Rua Sao Martinho Estacio, Narcotics Division agents arrested
retailer Reginaldo dos Santos, ''China", who sold cocaine in frout of house No 30 .
[on that street], and two men who were with him; Edvaldo Joaquim Nascimento and ,
Carlos Alberto dos Santos. The police established that the latter two men had
no connection with the case, but they want to question them as trial witnesses.
~ House No 30 is the resident of Emilia Delfiaa Caetano, aged 51, who had fled on
arrival of the police but had dropped her i.dentification. According to Carlos ~
Alberto, she is the oldest drug trafficker in the area, having inherited the
_ drug sales point from her husband Toninho de Vinte, who died some time ago. In
front of Building No 177, Rua do Livramento, Saude, Laudelino Miguel, a 52-year-
old dock janitor, was arrested with 2 packets of marihuana in his pockets. His
suppliers escaped, however. [Text] [Rio de Janeiro 0 GLOBO in Portuguese

DRUG WAR IN CAXIAS--Three drug rings were warring over cantrol of the drug traf-
fic in Duque de Caxias. According to police who are familiar with affairs in
Lower Fluminense, the result has been an increasing number of murders in the
region. The rings are led by Jorge Antonio Batista de Oliveira, "Jorge Bola";
Carlos Ivan da Silva, "Balao"; and Reginaldo dos Santos Barbosa, "Gica". The
last named has already been eliminated, howe ver; last Wednesday, two men--one
of the.n may have been Bolao himself--killed Gica on a bus in Bairro Pantanal.
Police feel that recent battles between gang memb~rs indicate that Bolao's
henchmen are gaining the advantage. According to investigations conducted re-
- cently, Bolao�s gang murdered Jose Ailton de Souza and Sergio dos Santos, both -
henchmen of Jorge Bola, and Gerson Alves de Oliveira, a member of Gica's ring.

DRUG CROP IN OAXACA WORTH MORE THAN LEGAL CROPS
Mexico City EXCELSIOR in SFanish 7 Mar 81 pp 4-A, 20-A
[Article by Rafael Medina C.]
[Text] Food crops amount to 3.6 billion; marihuana and poppy
crops to 10 billion.
The state is a new market for the exploitation of narcotics
traffickers .
Almost all of the Mixes are engaged in drug cultivation; "it's
what produces an income."
Oaxaca, Oax., 6 March--The cultivation of dope in this area exceeds lawful cultiva-
tions by more than 7 billion pesos and makes this state the No 1 cultivator of
marihuana and poppies in the country. Previously the main producer was the state
- of Sinaloa.
The planting and harvesting of corn, sorghum, kidney beans, rice, wheat, sesame,
and cotton, among other things, represented an income during the 1980 spring-summer
season of a little more than 3.6 billion pesos, according to official reports fur-
nished by the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources.
In the meantime, if the marihuana and poppy crops destroyed by the air fleet of
the Off ice of the Attorney General of the Republic and members of the Mexican army
had reached the centers of consumption, they would have yielded more than 10 bil-
lion pesos.
The poverty and isolation in which 90 percent of the 2.8 million inhabitants of
- this area are located, between the mountainous Sierra Madre Oriental and the
Sierra Madre Occidental, provide a 95,000 square kilometer area for a new market
of exploitation for drug traffickers.
Taking advantage of the poverty and ignorance, the lack of roads, and the neglect
of the people of Oaxaca who are grouped in 570 municipalities, drug traffickers
offer them big amounts of money to plant marihuana and poppies, give them very
effective means of taking care of the planting, and assure them that "it is on
orders of the government."

_ The drug traffickers attain their illicit afms by offering up to 150,000 pesos to
the peasants of the central valleys of the state to have them rent their land
exclusively for the planting of marihuana.
Th~ planting of corn--392,277 hectares were harvested, with a yield of 400,000
tons; sorghum--2,707 hectares were harvested, with a yield of 5,523 tons; kidney
beans--12,727 tons; rice--3,463 hectares were harvested, with a yield of 7,224
_ tons; wheat--2,719 hectares, with a yield of 13,576 tons; sesame--13,441 hectares, -
with a yield of 9,205 tons; cotton--3,023 hectares, with a yield ,~f 10,570 bales--
among other things--yielded the peasants 3.6 billion pesos.
In the meantime, if the planting of 2,077,469 square meters of marihuana--about
206 hectares--had not been destroyed, it would have yielded ~he drug traffickers
about 7.176 billion pesos. The planting of the destroyed poppies would have -
meant an income of a little more than 3 billion pesos. -
"The fight against drug trafficking in the area," acknowledges Celso Ordonez, the
regional coordinator of the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic, "is
difficult. The drug traffickers take advantage of the ignorance of the peasants, -
the lack of roads, the poverty of the people, the fact that the federal auth~ri-
ties cannot reach many of the sites in the mountain ridge. they give the peasants =
- money to sow death."
~?e states that in many places--"I can tell you there is an infinity of them, so I ~
will not name them"--the drug traffickers arrive like conquerors. "They give them
- equipment, money, aid, and above all, assurance, adding thai they are from the
gavernment; that later, when the peasants gather the harvest, they will give the
- peasants more money."
Celso Ordonez points out that many times when they arrive to fumigate large extents
- of marihuana and poppy plantings, "the people receive us with applause and greet-
ings from below. They think we are the same people who invited them to plant mari-
huana. When we land and tell them that that is bad, they agree, explaining that
the ones who gave them seed and money also were in helicopters and were well armed."
A survey made by EXCELSIOR in the area of the central valleys of Oaxaca made it
possible to ascertain the poverty and neglect of thousands of peasants. _
- In Nuevo y Viejo Santiago Tula, under the jurisdiction of the town of Zacatepec
Mixe, 54 air minutes by helicopter from the capital of Oaxaca and 620 feet above -
sea level, located in the lower part of the Sierr.�a, some 600 Mixes timidly observe =
the arrival of the helicopters of the Office of ihe Attorney General of the Repub-
lic.
_ Members of. the army protect the landing of the helicopter ~rhich moments before
destroyed 3 hectares of planted marihuana near that place. Two persons are now
under arrest. ~
Only the Mixe childr~n and wom~n approach the spot. The mEn, menacing, wait at
a distance to find out what is happening.

Ciro Antonio Justo, principal of the federal rural school, "Ninos Heroes," speaks
- f irst, because he speaks Spanish and Mixe--Zapoteco, in talking with the envoys.
~ Iie says that almost all the Mixe people "are engaged in the planting of marihuan~.
They do so because it is the only thing that brings them an income. Here," he
- says as he points around him, "no one helps us. Therefore, when they arrive and
offer us money, we agree to plant marihuana. I do not do so, because I am the
- teacher, the one who must educate them, get rid of their ignorance."
- Ciro Antonio Justo, who lives in sub-human conditions, without a budget for the
maintenance of the school--in a wooden hut covered with asbestos sheets, where the
heat is unbearable--cannot describe their poverty.
"I teach and that is all I know. We are worn out, but the government has promised
to help us, to bring us new desks and a blackboard. That will help to rid the
children of ignorance."
Some 80 small children attend the forgotten small schoolhouse. All of them want
to "rid themselves of ignorance," but other~ also want to go up in the helicopter
that takes away those who, because of ignorance, plant marihuana.
Wide-eyed, 6-year-old Gabino ~amacho Garcia, with a half-smile that he covers with
his hands, refus~:s to talk with the news reporter. Gabino is the center of at-
traction of his s~,:~ll school. He is asked if he knows Spanish yet and in reply
he cries. He does not speak, twists his whole body, and puts his hands up to his
face.
Such is not the case with 10-year-old Marta Torres Camacho, his cousin. She is
fair, has a cleft chin, thin lips, and large, light brown eyes. She is perhaps
the daughter of strangers who visited the area to offer mor~ey for the planting of
marihuana.
"I can read and write. I also know Spanish," she says, coming forward after hear-
~ ing the question.
But most of the small children do not know how to read and write, in spite of the
teacher's efforts. Many children attended only a few classes and then, on orders
of their parents, no longer went to school.
The school is located in an open space on a hill that is guarded by members of the
army and where t_h_2 helicopters of the PGR [Office of the Regional Attorney General]
land.
Again, only the children and the women go near the place. They wait for the two
, persons who were arrested for planting marihuana to go into the helicopter. There
is great expectatier.t~hen it does happen. The children run when the propellers
begin to turn at high speed and raise an enormous cloud of dust. The two planters
of marihuana are observed from below by everyone. The children would like to go
up iu the helicopter. Maybe they will, tomorrow.

HEROIN SMUGGLED INTO EUROPE
NC290738 (Clandestine) Radio Iran in Persian to Iran 1300 GMT 28 Apr 81
[Report by Radio Iran's corr~spondent in Paris--live or recorded]
[Text] The French public's strong rage has been aroused against the ruie _
- of the clergy because of the smuggling of heroin from the Islamic Republic.
This heroin has, up to now, either killed, blinded or paralyzed a large
number of people. The French people recently realized that the heroin
smuggled from Iran has increased (?twentyfold) since Khomeyni started his
rule, and that at present Iranian heroin takes up 80 percent of the entire
West European drug market.
During the past regime the government had been successful in limiting, as
best as possible, the smuggling of drugs. For years and years Iran's
heroin formed only between 3-4 percent of the European drug market, a
percentage which was falling each day.
_ It is interesting to note that when numerous massacres were carried out by
executioners such as Sadeq Khalkhali, there were some simpletons who be-
lieved that ~Chomeyni's regime was truly working toward the eradication of
drug smugglers and drug addiction, However, the truth is that drug smugglers
have never been so free to act as they are now, and this in itself shows -
that Sadeq Khalkhali's lahel "the antidrug campaign," pasted on Khalkhali's
massacres, was a pretext by which political opponents could be removed.
Undeniable facts and figures do not allow the regime's leaders :o continue
their demagoguery much longer and to continue to claim that they are fighti:lg -
againa.t smugglers.
In a discussion with a spokesman for the large antidrug and addiction center .
in Paris, he stated that the smuggling of Iranian heroin has increased so
- much that ~ddicts throughout Europe--especially in Holland, Britain and -
France--can easily find heroin, cheaply and abundantly.
But wha+. has enraged Europe's public is that the heroin manufactured by the
Islamic Republic was poisoned. An extremely large quantity, which arrived in

Europe from the Islamic Republic 2 months ago, showed that the heroin con-
- tained a fungus which could kill or blind the user. Up to date, a large
number of users in [words indistinct] and addiction center and of the
Public Health Ministry in Paris have asked rddio stat3ons to broadcast
repeated statements at specific hours asking addicts, who may have used
this type of heroin, ~to immediatel3~ report to the nearest h ospital f or a
checkup. According to doctors, the poisonous fungus conta ined in th is
heroin either blinds, paralyzes or kills the user.
Interpol believes that the abundance of Iranian heroin is not a natural _
phenomenon. Informed experts believe that Iranian smugglers have _
collaborators among influential government officials, such as th e revolution
[word indistinct], the clergy or the cotimmittees, since the manufacture of _
heroin needs large laboratories, which are practically impossible to hide
unless these laboratories are (?guarded) on orders of the revolution guards,
committees and clergy.

The authorities now claim that poppy cultivation from which heroin is extracted has
ended in the country. Cultivation was banned in September 1979, and wheat and bar-
- ley crops now occupy the 30,000 hectares previously devoted to poppy growing.
Before the Islamic Revolution the poppy crop was estimated at between 400 and 600
- tons annually, placing Iran am~onq the world's top producers. 4,2 tons of drugs,
including 54 kilos af heroin, seized over the last five months from about 5,000
people come mostly froan Pakistan, Afghanistan and Turkey, according to Hojjatole-
slam Zargar, special prosecutor f~r drug offenses.
More than 1,000 people facinq execution had their sentences reviewed, and about 85
percent were given additional discharges, Mr. Zargar said.
He pointed out that, in addition, nearly 2,000 drug offenders had been freed to
mark the second anniversary of the Islamic Republic and the Iranian New Year on _
M.1rch 21.
But he also recoqnized that Ayatollah IQzalkhali's strongarm methods had dismantled
most of the major drug netw~rks in Iran. The clampdown had also pushed up drug
prices and consequently cut down the number of drug users, he claimed. _
- Mr. Zargar praised Iran's methods of handling drug offenders. In the first in-
stance, he said, they were taken ~o a drug center--up to 70 a day to the Tehran
center alone. .
_ They were judged on ths spot and simple "users" were often either sent home to
their families or to rehabilitation centers.

[Text] The security police arrested Hasan M. and Mahmud M., both Lebanese, for
trafficking in drugs and promoting the same in Kuwai~. The arrest, which occurred
at the homes of the two suspects in al-Salimiyyah and al-'Umriyyah, resulted in the
confiscation of 3 ki~ograms of hashieh which they had intended to distribu~e among
their agents after acquiring the hashish from a sister countrt~.
Information rec~ived by the security systems had gointed co the visi'iile activities
of each ot the suspec~s in the drug trafficking fie11.
As part of the plan to catch them redhanded, one secret source was handed 650 dinars,
marked by the secret policy. He was told to go to the first suspect and pretend that
he wanted to buy a large amount of drugs. The source then carried out his mission
and got the suspect's approval, followed by his accompanying him to the al-'Umriyyah
area where the suspect entered a house. He reCurned after a short period and handed
the source the requested drugs. At the mcsment of pick-up, which occurred in the
al-Salimi.yyah area, and by means of the previously agreed upon signal, the secret -
- police members arrested the suspect. Upon searching him, the marked maney was found
- in his possession. Tt~ie drugs which he had just delivered to the source were also con-
, fiscated.

everything. However, he later confessed his guilt, pointing out to the existence of =
- a similar amount, about 2 kilograms of Hashish, with his partner in distributing drugs

In the ligt~t of these confessions,.the secret police hurried to the latter suspect'~
home in the 'Umriyyah area, where the~ found the abovementioned amount of drugs
hidden in his briefcase. Upon confronting him with the accusations directed at him, _
he confessed and referred to his participation with the first suspect in bringing

ALMOST ALL HASHISH IN DENMARK SOLD FROM CHRISTIANIA
Copenhagen BERLIN~SKE TIDENDE in Danish 23 Mar 81 p 3 -
[Article by Jorn Mikkelsen: "Almosi All Hashish ir. Denmark Is Sold Through
Christiania"] -
[Text] "Almost all the hashish that is smoiced in Denmark goes through Christiania.
Both the politicians and the policp know that, but they all pretend not to see the ~
problem because it is such a horrifyingly big one." `
~ So says Hans Lovetand, who formerly lived in Christiania for 4 years and was a
spokesman for the residents, but moved away because drugs totally wrecked the
nsighbort~ood. Now he can sit in his apartment axid look over into the free city.
"On summer days, there can be as many as 30 people, each with his little stall,
_ selling hashish. It is so undisguised that anybody can see what is going on.
There are even the police, too, who make an example of somebody now and then and
impose a fine. There is a sort of tacit agreement between the distributors and
the police, who do not make a body search if the distributor turns over the dope =
- voluntarily. Quite simply, there is nat enough manpower to keep Christiania free
from 3rugs," Hans Lovetand says.
' Checking is Easier
- He thinks it is most convenient for the authorities to havP hashish selling con- -
centrated in one place. That makes checking the community easier, and it saves a
large number of people the unpleasant experience of observing the degrading condi-
tions unde~ which many drug addicts live in Christiania.
"But it would not do any good to close down Christiania. The community of hashish
addicts would simply move somewhere else. Hashish will always be available in the
_ places where it is smoked," he says.
The discussion of Christiania flared up aqain after the residents themselves
stated that 20 kilograms of hashish valued at 750,000 kroner are sold in the free -
city every day. That agrees with the amount reported b,y the Disturbances Patrol _
of the Copenhagen Police. In all, a quarter of a billion kroner worth of hashish
is sold in Christiania.

POLICE TO INCREASE EFFORT IN (:FiRISTIANIA TO STEM DRUGS
Copenhagen BERLINGSKE TIDENDE in Danish 24 Mar 81 p 3
[Article by Anders Wiig and Lisbeth Wirgowitsch: "Increased Police Effort Against
the Selling of Drugs in Christiania"]
[Text] "If an in~rease in the police force and many technical resources are needed
to deal with the drug problem, I am sure that there is parliamentary backing for
providing the police with the means required to solve the problem," said Minister
of Justi.ce Ole Espersen yesterday at a meeting on the subject of "merchants of
death by narcotics" axranged by the Legal Discussion Club of the University of
_ Copenhagen.
Ole Espersen said that the financial cost of strengthening the police in their
work is infinitesimally small by comparison with what it costs to treat a drug ad-
d~ct. "The community spends 50 million kroner every year to treat addicts, and if
the problem can be solved by strengthening the police, it must be done for that
reason," said Ole Espersen, who described the drug problem as the most important
one this spring where the Danish Farliament is concerned.
- The executive body of the police force wants to increase its efforts directed
against crime in Christiania. Police Commissioner Poul Eefsen and his leading as-
- sociates, in the light of disclosures that 2,800 people had made pickups of hashish
- in the "free city" on Friday, held meetings on the drug situation in Christiania
all day Monday.
The Police Commissioner met with leaders of the Disturbances Patrol, ithe Narcotics
Section and the chief of the Criminal Police, Deputy Police Comissioner Ole Nor-
" gaard, among others. A vigorous effort to render the pa~rolling, police raids and
- other methods of checking on the residents of the so-called "free city" effective
can be expected in the i.mmediate future. It has been known for many years in the
- Copenhagen police headquarters that people are dealing in narcotics--principally
- hashish--in Christiania, and the Disturbances Patrol, in particular, has evinced
very intense interest and carried out raids and undercover patrollings in civilian
- clothing which time and again brought storms of protest from the residents. In
fact, a drug raid was carried out yesterday in Christiania. It was concentrated
on the Woodstock tavern and the area around it. It developed into an attack on
the members of the Disturbances Patrol with fists and throw~n stones and bottles,
so that they had ~o call for help from the uniformed police.

_ because, among other things, no less than three members of the Folketing have de-
manded explanations from both the Minister of the Interior and the Minister of

Conservative Peop le's Party, who is a member of the Legal Committee, as was ex-
- pected yesterday. In it she demands that the police force be increased and given
greater powers, if necessary, so that narcotics laws c3n be enforced.

JUSTICE MINISTER: HARD DRUGS IN PRACTICE A�.E LEGALIZED
- Copenhagen BERLINGSI~ TIDENDE in Danish 26 Mar 81 p 1
[Article by Chr. Bronum and Lisbeth Wirgowitsch: "Hard Drugs and Hashish Legalized
in Practice"]
- [Text] "The use af hashish and hard narcotic materials is legalized in Denmark in
practice."
That is what Minister of Justice Ole Esperson told the BERLINGSI~ TYDENDE after the
hash~sh festival in Christiania last weekend in which 2,800 people participated.
- "The police have only limited means at their disposal, and therefore they must as-
sigii priorities in their work," says Ole Espersen. "The police simply do not have
the ability to take thousands of people into custody in Christiania. Furthermore,
I think that I, and other hashish opponents, must consider wl.iether the problem
cannot be tackled in ways which do not involve the use of the police and the ju-
dicial system--through more extensive educational work, for example."
Ole Espersen stresses the �act that the police must put their manpower into action
against the most serfous crimes first. "Thus, for example, the criminal code re-
~ gards heroin smuggling as a more serious thing than hashish smuggling. The police
take action against both of these offenses, but if less serious violations of the
criminal code are involved the police must ass iqn priorities, and I believe that,
with the resources the police have at present, priorities were properly assigned."
At a meeting in the I.egal Discussion Club on Monday, Ole Espersen stated that the
_ police will be given the needed means in the form of increased manpower and tech-
nical resources in the �ight against the abus e of hard drugs. Ole Espersen said
that there was support in the Folketing for giving the pc~lice additional financial
. means.

- COPENHAGEN POLICE'S NARCOTICS SECTION TO BE EXPANDED
Copenhagen BERLINGSKE TIDENDE in Danish 27 Mar 81 p 2
[Article by "bba." and "cb": "Narcotics Poliee Being En3arged"]
- [Text] The strengtn of the Narcotics Section of the Copenhagen Police is now being
increased by the addition of 12 policemen.
"The decision to increase the strength ~f the Narcotics Section was arrived at by
the executive body of the police in Copenhagen recently, and that occurred in view
of the steadily increasing figures which clearly indicate that drug offenses con-
- stitute a growing ~roblem," says Ole Norgaard, the deputy police comanissioner.
The present strength of the Narcotics Section is 76 people. "But even if we were
to increase personnel to 450 people there would always be the same quantity of
heroin in the streets," says Ole Norgaard. "The only thing that would happen
would be that we would qet more cases a+nd would confiscate a larger amount of
- dr.ugs."
In regard to the problem of arresting users of drugs, Jimmy Stahx, the chairman of
the Legal Committee of the Folketing, says, "If the police were to arrest users of
hashish and hard drugs, we would have to build an unprec~dented number of new
_ prison cells. As the situation is at present, we quite simply have no space for
hashish users and narcotics addicts."
: In saying that, Jimmy Stahr confirms what Minister of Justice Ole Espersen to~d
the BERLINGSKE TIDENDE yesterday. Ole Espersen stated that the use of hashish and
' hard drugs is legalized in Denmark in practice.
The justice minister's stateraent regarding the system's impoter_~e with respect to
druq addicts gave rise to a number of questions in the Foll~eting yESterday and can
be expected to be taken up in a discussion in the Legal Committee with the Minister
of Justice and Minister of the Int2rior Henning Rasmussen.
Jimmy Stahr states that the question of increased resources for treating drug ad-
dicts is one of the things being c~nsidered as a poasible way of combatting drugs
_ more effectively. A number of Folketing members who are on the Legal Committee
and the Social Committee will try to get the problem claxified at the Justice
Ministry`s big hearing on narootics on 6 April.

ALGERIAN SENTENCED FOR SMUGGLING 500 KILOGRAIrS HASHISH -
Copenhagen BERLINGSKE TIDENDE in Danish 2 Mar 81 p 3 _
' jText] One of suspected chief f igures behind the smuggling of at least 500
_ kilograms o~ fiashish was imprisoned in Copenhagen yesterdap. He is the 34 year
old Algerian, known to the narcotics police and among hashish smugglers as "Mr.
Interpol." Af ter a dramatic police chase he was s~ized in Paris on 2 Oct 1980, -
- where he has since served out a sentence for document falsification since he used "
a Palse TD card.
Police Judge Michael Lyngbo received the suspect in Paris after a Danish extra-
dit~on request had been received. He is su~pected of being one of the 'oagmen
for the hashish smuggling of about 30 Algerian and Danish couriers. He denied
in the court kno~ring about anp smuggling, which also lead to the arrest of his wi;:e.
He ma,intains that he supports himself legally as a mover, but the police base their
- susp icions an among other things statements bp a number of guilty couriers and
taps oP telephone conversations.
_ A wave of arrests of largely unemployed Algerians started on 12 August at the
Kastrup Airport. At that time the police got their hands on a trunk in a baggage
- ch~ck room containing 350,000 kr, plus a lik~ amount, a couple of false passports
_ and a pistol in a hired car which three arrested Algerians were driving. The
pol~ce believe that the money was to be sent by courier ~o Switzerland in payment
for fiashisfi deliveries.
T[ius, a score of hashish smugglers were caught in the police and customs net in
Kastrup. This occured even if the leaders of the band must have known that large
= sums were already lost and several couriers exposed. From telephone taps the
police got the impression that individuals in the ranks were suspicious regarding
some of their leaders and suspected the couriers to spying on each other. That
was the explana tion to, among o ther things, the disappearance of one of the band's
leaders when he went from London to Copenhagen to pick up money. Actually, he
was arrested and imprisoned secretly. -
Since the expose began, about 20 couriers have received long prison sentences. ~
_ 'I'ile ILasish was shipped from Pakistan, packed in trunks, with no effort to camou-
flage the contents. A courier was sure to be detected if the customs made a
~uperPicial, routine examination. Hence, the narcotics police have called the
falgerian couriers suicide pilots.

STUDY SHOWS THAT ONE-THIRD OF DRUG USERS ABLE TO STOP
Copenhagen BERLTNGSKE TIDENDE in Danish 3 Mar 81 p 3 _
[Text] A study of how 300 young people who misused narcotics in~ Copenhagen in
the course af a 7-gear period fare, shnws tfiat 45 of them are dead. At the same
- t~ne, more than one--tt~rd of the young people have stopped drug abuse. The
xe~a~nder are mo~e or less dependent upon narcotics.
The study involves some 300 morphine addicts, who in 1973 sought help for their
addiction either f rom the Copenhagen's Municipal Social Help Service at Halmtorv
or from the Copenfiagen County Hospital Nordvaag (then the state fiospital in
_ Golstrup~ .
it is now published in a report, "Young Addicts--Seven Years Later," which was -
yesterday~ made available to the pu~lic by the mayor for social affairs, Pelle
Jarmer, and soc~al d~rector, Paul Hviid Kristensen. i
i
~irs t B~g S tudy I
The study is the f irst big Danish reexamination of young morphin~ addicts. It -
_ was undertaken by chief physician and medical direct~r Soven Haastrup, Dr. Peter
W. J'apsen, and the social workers, director Anders Gormsen., educator Steen _
Nielsen, educator Inger Scheibye, and social counselor Lis Scheibye.
Despite th.e sobering figures on fatalities, the results of the investigation -
are encouraging. They support tfie claims of previous researchers that it is _
possible to break the addiction at any point during the period of addiction, and
that addicts with a long period of misuse behind them actually have a greater
chance of ending their addiction tilan addicts with a short period of mistise
behind them.
- The very ~reat skep ticism which treatment of older addicts generally gives rise -
to seems therefore hardly to be ~ustified.

[Text] An arrow on the dock in Uddevalla harbor along with. the activity of two
frogmen tfi.ere fias cleared up a matter involving 103 kilograms of sunken hashish
_ ~thich was to have been smuggled into Der~mark and sc~1_d there. One of the two
divers, ~he 33 pear old Dane Soren Juel Berg, has been ~entenced to 3-years
imprisortment by the I~inn:cipal Court of Copenhagen. The other, a Dutch citizen,
Taco ~'tolk, is ~n prisoxz in T[ze Hague. ,
Tt was Swedish customs~ employees whn became suspicious in October 1980 concerning
tfie two divers who pretended to be practicing diving in the cold water. The
- customs people sent their own divers down and they found on the bottom af the
sea tfie above-named hashish wrapped in a water-tight bag. It was discovered
that the Pak~stan ship Moenjudaru had ~ust been tied up to the 3ock. The two
divers who fiad to identify themselves since it is forbidden to dive ~Cn the harbor ~
for security reasons were arrested and extradited to Dernnark and the Netherlands ~
respectivelp. ;
;
Berg had been snught since 22 December 1979 when he tried to smuggle into
Copenhagen ?.7 kilograms hashish from India. It failed because the trunk was
sent by the wrong flight from India. Berg explained cor~cerning the trip that
- before it he had played cards w~.th four others in Copenhagen as to who would
travel to India to get the "Christmas hashish." He l.ost and traveled for the
o ther s .
In addition, he t~ad remained in the East from January to July last year with his
little daughter. He was invited to do so by a Pakistan bi~sinessman, "a big man
in the oil branch," with whom he had a homosexual relationship. After he came
~ hon:e, he was in Amsterdam on behalf of the Pakistani, where they met again. It
_ was on this trip that he met Stolk.. The court found him guilty of diving for
the hashish but held that he had not financed the trip to Uddevalla or that he
would undertake the sale of the stuff in Dernnark.

[Article by Dan Axel]
['re.$t] Evexy fifth, student at Arhus CountyRS Special Pedagogical Center is "
txeated today~ w~th strong narcotic substance amphetamine. ~
Tf~s is ev~dent from informa.tion witii Arhus County`s Municipal Education and
Culture Admin~.stration has given to County Board member Mogens Engsig Karup -
- (~'ocial~st Paoplers Party} . S'ixteen of the 80 children who are taught in very
~mall, spec~al classes are already under medical treatment when they come to the
center .
"And this is disturbing," psychologist Knud Erik Pedersen, M.A., Arhus, told
BERLINGSKE on Sundsy. "Tfiese children do not have a ch.ance to profit fully from _
their education. Tt is children who are hyperactive who are treated as if they
are brain-damaged."
_ Psychologist Knud Erik Pedersen took up the fight against treating over-active -
cYiildren with ampl~atamines when the Board of Health on 1 July 1980 sent out a
c~rcular liberalizing the use of narcotics for children. The matter has been -
up in the parliament but there has not yet been a rul~.ng that it is necessary
to have a countrywide im~estigation as to the extent of such treatment.
Tnaccurate Figures _
"The Board of Health has made known that such treatment was used in the case of
65 children in all of Denmark in 1980. I knew immediately that that was ~ncorrect,"
Knud Erik Pedersen says. In Arhus alone at that time 65 children were being
treated with amphatamines and retalin. Not included here are the figures from
c].asses in the center. .
_ th~e figures from Arhus are applied to the whole country, in all 650 childran _
axe i~eing treated with amphetamines- more than 10 times mure than Che Board of
~teal.tii stated af ter a sample investigation. -

- "It is still possibLe that an especially large number of children in Arhus are
being treated with amphetamines," Knud Erik Pedersen said to BERLINGSKE on Sunday.
"CTiief Physictan Niels Hansen from the Children's Psychiatric Hespital in Risslcov
wae the pioneer in this treatment, and many of his 'fl.ock' has adopted this meChod
of treatment, and use it diligentlp."
'1'he Arhus County Council has considered the matter several times, but the reaction
of the Board of Health is being awaited before undertaking an investigation in
the Arhus region.

ICELANDER ARRESTED IN AIRPORT WITH AMPAETAMINE
Reyk~avik MORGUNBLADID in Icelandic 27 Mar 81 p 2
[Article: "Icel~nder Caught at Kastrup: The Ph~tograph Was the Drug-Smuggler's _
Downfall"]
- [Text] Photographs which the Narcotics Squad in Reykjavik sent
~o Denmark resulted in an arrest of a 23-year old Icelander at
the Kastrup Airport on Thursday last week. The man was carrying
a J.ittle over 300 grams of narcotics. Ae was coming from
Amsterdam in Holland and had the narcotics in plastic bags
whfch he glued to his back. Most of the narcotics were -
. amphetamines and not heroin, according to inform,at ion -
t~iORGUNBLADID received in (:openhagen yesterday. The man is now
in custody and it is expected that a verdict will be passed in
his case in the Copenhagen Municipal Court in about 10-15 days.
This aforementtoned man was quite involved in an Extensive narcotics case that the
narcotics department in Reykj avik was handling last February. It was considered
_ necessary to get him extradited from Denmark where he was sought and where photo-
graphs of him were posted in all police stations. He was later reported to be in
Holland carrying a large amount of money. Control was then tightened and last
Thurdsay he was caught at the Kastrup Airport as he arrived from Amsterdam. A
policeman, who had scrutinized hi~ photograph, noticed him among the air passengers
_ and he was immediately arrested.
Qn his r~dy he had hidden 300 grams of amphetamines, almost one gram of cocaine and
20 grams of hashish. The sale value of those narcotics is about 60 thousand Danish
kroner or about 6 million Icelandic kr.or~er. When questioned, the Icelander claims
to have carried the narcotics for some En.glishmen but the p~lice do not believe that -
story. Zt is considered lik~ly that the narcotics were intended for sale in nenmark.
The Icelander has repeatedly been involved in narcotics cases in Iceland, as well as
in Denmark, where he has kept company with Icelandic and foreign drug dealers.

of cocaine from South America. Cliff, a dog specially trained
to sniff out narcotics, sounded the alarm when in May of last -
year the accused's two false-bottom trunks were passed through
the cuatoms at Rhein-~iain Airport. -
Evidence recently made public in the case be�ore the 13th Criminal Court, has
revealed that the Dutch courier arrived fro~n La Paz (Bolivia) with the trunks
~ containing cocaine. After a stopover in Frankfurt he intended to go on to Brussels, -
where he was allagedly to be met by his client with $5,000 as payment for his _
service.
Even though the accused attempted to convince the judges of his inno~ence in the
_ 2-day long trial he did not succeed in presenting a credible case. His deposition
- before the court was so full of contradictions that, after sentence was passed,
Helmut Bauer, the presiding judge, observed that smugglers of narcotics coulu hope _
for clemency only if they confeased of their own free will who the principals of
illi~it drug trade were. -
The man from Amsterdam stated that he met Harry, his alleged client, in a night
club. To make some extra money the trained pastry cook moonlighted in the establish-
_ ment as a waiter. He wanted to go into business for himself an~. open a pastry shop -
in Canada. And Harry just happened to fit into his plans by enquiring whether he
- would be willing to act as an occasional courier to make some money. The 26-year-
old man claimed that he did not realize that he would be smuggling narcot3.cs, all
he thought of was the money.
While the accused admitted that he had been aware that what was expected of him
was "not quite legal" he was asked to refrain from "asking too many questions" and
just stick to his instructions.

In view of the numerous contradictions in his testimony the court found this
claim unconvincing. Moreover, the court voiced the suspicion that the accused
was covering up for those who were behind the DM 2 million �ransactiion (the black
_ market street price of 10 kilograms of cocaine). In this connection a certain nr
A. from Cochabaraba in Eolivia allegedly played a central rol~.
- While the prosecution asked for the maximum jail sentenc~ of 10 years for the
Dutch courier the defense was of the opinion that, by accepting the assignment, the
- accused was guilty merely of groes neglect, for which the appxopriate ~ail sentence
was less than 1 year.

TWO SMUGGLED HASHISH OIL--Interesting smuggling methods were used in a narcotics
case that was under investigation recently. Accoxding to the police, two men _
admitted to havi,ng smuggled hashish oil in their stomach into the country. They
put the hashish in condoms and swallowed them shortly before take-off to Ic:eland.
tiThen they arrived home, the wait began, longer for one of them, but in both cas~s
the comdom~ passed through the digestive system. Such methods are said to be quite
common abroad but are rare here in the country. [Text ][Reykj avik MORGUNBLADID

HEROIN SEIZURES MADE IN TURKEY, ITALY
, Istanbul TERCUMAN in Turkish 8 Apr 81 pp 1,12
[Text] NEWS CENTER "Operation Seyithan," which Narcotics Branch squads from
- the Istanbul Security Directorate began in Hakkari and ended in Istanbul, resulted
in the seizure of 6 kilograms of heroin, with a market value of 150 million liras,
intended for smuggling abroad. Three narcotics smugglers were also arre sted with
the heroin during the operation.
- Narcotics Branch detectives had intelligence that some narcotics would b e smuggled
to Europe from Iran via Turkey and went to Hakkari where the heroin was to enter
our country. The detectives learned after extensive effort~ that the heroin which
- a person named Mehmet Siddik Aytek was to get from Iran would be brought to Istan-
bul by a truck belonging to Tarik Cicelt and began tailin~ these persons. The her-
oin, brought the day before in a truck with license plate no 21 DD 630 belonging
to Tarik Cicelc, was seized by detectives staked out earlier at Topkapi. Found in
- the search of the truck was 6 kilogra~s of pure ~.ieroin with a market value of
150 million liras. Mehmet Siddik Aytek, Tarik Cicek and Saidin Mercan who were in
the truck and determined to be smuggling narcotics were arrested and placed in
detention.
~ In Italy
Elsewhere, Italian police apprehended an international heroin ring, 5 members of
which were Turkish, and seized $5 million (approximately 500 million Turkish liras)
in heroin as the result of two operations.
In the first operation, police seized 3.5 kilograms of heroin hidden in the engine
compartment of an automobile and arrested a Turk named Ali Ozturk, age 24, in con-
nection with the incident. Security authorities announced that Ali O~turk had
been wanted for a long time by West German, Belgian, Dutch, French and Ital.ian
police. Ozturk's Italian girlfriend was also taken into custody.
the second operation, one Lebanese and two Italians were arrested by security
forces when 1.8 kilograms of heroin and opium were found in their BMW car.

HASHISH SEIZURE MADE IN ISTANBUL -
Istanbul HURRIYET in Turkish 4 Apr 81 p 15
[Text] An operation by Na,-co*ics Branch detectives in Istanbul netted 110 kilo-
~ grams of powdered hashish with a market value of 6 million liras. A truck driver
maned Ismail Saruhanlioglu who supplies the hashish market in Istanbul was
arrested by police.
Yet another was added to the continuous operations being conducted throughout the -
nation in order to save young people from the evils of narcotics. A large nar-
_ cotics ring was discovered as the result of weeks of work by Narcotics Branch
squads from the Istanbul Security Directorate. The white poison merchants who
- were bringing hashish from Bursa and putting it on the market in Istanbul where -
they sold it to dealers among whom were children of middle school age were appre- -
- --hended together with 110 kilograms of powdered hashish.
Narcotics Branch detectives discovered that the notorious smuggler Necati
Roslanci, known as "Kasimpasa Necati" and who was arrested some time ago in pos-
session of 420 grams of pure heroin, had placed a large order for hashish from
Bursa. The detectives conducted very secret investigations, learning that a truck
driver named Ismail Saruhanlioglu was b*:inging the substance by truck to Istanbul
from Bursa via Gemlik. Detectives secretly kept a constant tail on the red Bed-
_ ford truck and Iearned that the substance was brought to a house in Kasimpasa and
hidd,en there.
- The house in Kasimpasa was imm~diately raided and Ismail Saruhanlioglu was
arrested with 110 kilograms of powdered hashish. It seems that after "Kasimpasa
Necati" was arrested, Ismail Saruhanlioglu had taken over the ring and continued
distcibution without interruption.
The 110 kilograms of hashish found ~n the search of the house in Kasimpasa is -
understood to be of the highest quality, the kind called "fiubar" by narcotics
types. It was reported that the powdered hashish, known as "Bursa Stuff [heroin]" -
and which sells for up to 55,000 liras per kilo on the market, has a total value
of 6 million liras.
Narcotics Branch authorities announced that the operation is continuing in Istan-
bul and Bursa for the arrest of other agents of the white poison smuggling ring.

POLICE OFFICIAL CITES BALI AS CENTER FOR NARCOTICS DEALING
- Jakarta HARIAN iJM~TM AB in Indonesian 14 Mar 81 p 6
[Excerpts] Police Regior~al Command XI, Nusantara has been unable to break the
- network which uses Bali as a center for narcotics dealing.
The chief of Police Regional Command XI, Police Brigadier General Pamoedji,
who will leave that post in a few days to take over as chief of Police Region X,
~ East Java, told ANTARA on Wednesday that his command had been unable to break
the ring because the means and capability of his personnel are limited.
He noted that Bali needed several dogs especially trained for narcotics work,
and needed personnel with technical training and command of foreign languages.
- Singapore, which is the size of Batam, has 40 dogs trained for narcotics work.
Pamoed~i indicated ttiat he had reported to his superiors about the limitations
of his command's means to detect narcotics.
"The problem is tliat trained dogs are very expensive and are difficult to get,"
he added .
He noted that several police personnel have received special training in narcotics
work, and have trained abxoad.
"As has been pointed out, Bali is a center for narcotics transactions, and we
have been unable to break the ring."
Pamoed~i said that it was "logical" for Bali to be a site for narcotics deals.
- On a blackboard, he listed the narcotics producing nations in Indochina, and
the narcotics consuming nation, Australia, and explained that "geographically,
Bali is an ideal center for narcotics traffic."
Narcotics traffic between Thailand and Australia use several international
airfields for transit. The route is Bangkok-Hong Kong-Jakarta-Ra,li-Australia.
"This is a difficult problem. Police in Bali can intercept only a small portion
of the traffic, mostly gan~a leaves," Pamoed~i noted.

HE~OIN SMUGGLERS ARRESTED AT T~ALIM AIRPORT
Jakarta SINAR HARAPAN in Indanesian 7 Mar 81 p 2 -
, -
[ExcerptsJ The case involving the smuggling of 5 kilograms of heroin through
- Halim P erdanakusumah Airport in May 1980 has been concluded, and will go to _
- trial in the Court of First Instance, East Jakarta. r
- The susp ect and his accomplices planned to smuggle 20 kilograms of h~roin to -
- The Netherlands. Customs officials at Halim arrested Mrs SRU with the first S Kg
' shipment. This was followPd with the arrest of CKS. The source of the drugs,
TKH, who is based in Medan, escaped arrest. Another accomplice, CAM, a connecting
link in the smuggling ring, is reportedly in detention in Amsterdam.
On 2 Ju.ly 1979, the gruup met at Hotel "S," Jalan Batu Ceper, JakarCa, and
agreed that CAM would turn over the heroin to TKH in Malaysia, for transport to
Medan via sea. The heroin would then go to Jakarta, and be flown to Amsterdam. _
The plan was confirmed at a 3 July 1979 meeting between TKH and Mrs SRU in
Hotel "M," Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, Jakarta. It was decided that TKH and
Mrs SRU would bring the heroin to Amsterdam. Mrs SRU would take 5 kilograms of
heroin in the initial stage. She was to get 5 million Rupiahs. _
The plo tters intended to transfer the heroin ta CAM in the Hilton Hotel, Amster
Amsterdam, on 4 or 5 May, 1980. Customs officials siezed the heroin, worth
$25 mil lion, from Mrs SRU's luggage, and arrested Mrs SRU and CKH, who accompanied
her to Halim.
A SINAR HARAPAN source said that Mrs SRU would be called only as a witness. ~

CANADIANS ARRESTED WITH HEROIN
Bangkok ~AO SIAM in Thai 27 Feb S1 pp 1,2
[Excerpts] Two international heroin traffickers of Canadian nationality were
- arrested while they were in the act of placing eight "Michai" condoms filled -
_ with heroin in each other's anuses. This took place in their room at a hotel
in the middle of Bangkok. They were preparing to take a night flight out of ~
the country. Police from the Metropolitan Narcotics Control Unit had learned
of this and took a force of 10 officers there. They broke down the door and
caught the men red-handed. They seized eight pouches of heroin valued at
8 million baht.
This resulted from an 9..nvestigati.on by Police Captain Amaretrit Wattanaphibun
and Police Captain Surachit Noiphan, officers with the Narcotics Control Unit
of the Commissioner's Office of the Metropolitan Police. They had learned that _
- two fareigners who were members of an international narcotics gang had entered
Thailand pos;ng as tourists. They had purchased heroin and made preparations
to sell it abroad. At the time of their arrest the two foreigners were staying
in Room 97 on the second floor of the Astra Hotel on New Phetburi Road in Mag-
_ kasan Precinct, Huai Khwang Ward. They were readying the heroin for transport
abroad. They were going to take a Pan Am flight that was to leave at 0100 hours
on 26 February.
Thus, at 2300 hours on 25 Feb ruary, Police Captain Amaretrit took a force of _
- 10 policemen to Room 97 of th is hotel.
The officials interrogated both foreigners and learned that they were Mr Jillet
- Masricot, age 27, and Mr Michell Longpri, age 26. Both are Canadians.

He called for the strengthening of tne Customs Department, "to ensure that all
avenues which exist for the illegal bringing in of drugs should be blocked out -

like to see "every effort made on a national level." Mr Greaves said the drug
abu~e had reached such a proportion that there ought to be a national awareness. ~
He said that the Customs Department should b~~: complimented for the way in which -
it had been ferreting out persons who bring r.~arijuana into the island. He also _

INTERNATIONAL CAMPAICN TO DISCREDIT NATION TERMED IRRATIONAL
La Paz EL DIARIO in Spanish 16 Mar 81 p 2
[Editorial]
[Text] Just when it looked as if the campaign against Bolivia in important news
media were winding down, reports from abroad began to step up ~he effort, adding
new ingredients, to give the impre~sion that in Bolivia the processing and
marketing of cocaine has the backing of the government, or at least of key
government figures. There has been no proof of these charges; everything is based
on assumptions and speculalion stemming from possible clues. This demonstrates
that there are ulterior motives involved here, bordering on t~e irrational.
Most worrisome is the fact that this entire campaign, instead of discrediting men
and politicians, has sullied the reputation of a whole nation, co such an extreme
~ that these days the name Bolivia is almost synonymous with cocaine and drug
addiction. This unjust and vile accusation deserves clear, irrefutable and
definitive answers aimed at unmasking the real objectives of the campaign. On
another occasion we pointed out objectively that no one denies or doubts that Boli-
via has traditionally produced coca, a plant used by the aborigenes of these re-
gions since time imrnemorial. In a way, coca is part of the habitat. But the idea
of making cocaine was not born in Bolivia; it is an invention that came from out-
side our borders. The marketing and trafficking of the drug began when men
bearing dollars came here and began to awaken a commercial interest among some
natives. What at first seemed to be very insipid, almost a small adventure, in
time became the tremendous drug business of today.
But what has motivated and s[imulated this illegal attitude? FirsC of all--one
need not be a specialist to realize this--there is a consumer market. Where is
the market? The answer springs up immediately, because it is so easy ~o pinpoint
on ~he map: i.n the great urban centers, where economic and social development ha~
reached almost inconceivable levels. In other words, the consumer ele~;.~~nt exist::
where there is an abundance of money to pay the high cost of the drugs, and where
society ha~ reached that point of sat isfaction and ennui with normal life, and
- people begin to look for other ingredients to deride their idleness and boring,
routin~ lives. It is there also where the large organizations are created to
carry out the importation and marketing of the drug. Those are the elements who
- have reached Bolivia with fistfuls of dollars to organize bands to manufacture
; cocaine. At first they engaged in routine activities, but later they began to

employ tremendous technical resources. Within this large conglomerate, there are
probably Bolivian citizens who have been tempted by the promise of easy winnings.
It is certain that even humble peasants have been skillfully lured into these
traps, but that is not enough to incriminate an entire natior nor should it be a
_ motive to oppose a government, no matter what its origin and composition.
In view of this depressing situation, what we need is a coordinated effort by the
countries that produce the raw material and those where the drug is sold (il-
legally, of course). Only with an effort of this sort will the anti-drug campaign
be ssccessful. Until then, the struggle of a single country--Bolivia in this
case--with meager economic and technical resources is hopeless and painful.
Moreover, we must confront the international offensive that has drawn the active
_ participation of clearly identified political elements and ideological secrors
that mistakenly thought they had found a disgraceful way to combat a government.

NEW NARCOTICS CONTROL BOARD ELIMINATES DISTRIBUTION CENTERS
La Paz ULTIMA HORA in Spanish 14 Mar 81 p 9
[Text] In one of its first communiques, dated yesterday, the new Council on the '
_ St~uggle against Drug Trafficking, in cooperation with the Department of Control, -
Supervision and Marketing of Coca, has closed down all the coca distribution
centars.
The communique contains the following measures;
1. All coca distribution centers in the country will be shut down as of this date
because they do not have the Registration and Census documents necessary for
their operation, and because the distribution network has been modified. There-
fore, no distribution center is authorized to operate.
, 2. All coca marketing licenses for the categories of sellers or intermediaries
are now null and void, since it has been found that the former are speculators
who exploit the product, and the latter are directly responsible for the -
transport of the raw material to places where it is processed into the drug
commonly known as /cocaine/ [word enclosed in slantlines printed in boldface].
3. All licenses issued as of 15 December 198p for the retail category are still
v31id, because it has been found that the people in this category merely sell
coca by the pound, and have nothing to do wiCh the scourge of drug trafficking.
_ In order to purchase coca, from now on they must go to the Central Coca
Depositories that are being set up in Chuquiaguillo, La Paz and Sacaba, Cochabamba.
4. All coca producers in Los Yungas, Chapare and other production regions must
take their products to the Coca Depositories that are being created as of this
date. In no case should the producers sell their product outside these depositor-
ies. Violation of this provision will lead to the confiscation of the product.
S. For the transfer of coca to the interior of the country, local depository bran-
ches are being set up i.n the folloving cities: Oruro, Santa Curz, Potosi, Sucre,
Tarija, Trinidad, Uyuni, Tupiza, Cobija, Desaguadero, Copacabana, Puerto Acosta,
Villazon, Yacuia, Bermejo, Puerto Suarez, and Guayaramerin. Retailcrs may go to
those branches to purchase the product for daily sale, at a rate of six cylinders
per month.

_ 6. Con~racCors accredited with the Deparlment of Control, Supervision and MarkeL--
ing of Coca to supply the Mining Corporation of Bolivia (COMIBOL), the National
Mining Chamber and sugar mills, must update their documents and deposit the
neCessary bond under this new system.
7. The re~ailers who until now have been selling coca witrout the necessary author-
ization must obtain a license from the Department of Control, Supervision and Mar-
keting at the central office in La Paz.
8. The producers who have not obtained a census registration must go to the Coca -
Control Department and submit th~ir property deeds, and then obtain the registra- -
tion. It will be granted provisionally until the census of coca growers, soon to
be initiated, is finished.
As a result of these measures, which are effective on this date, and with the
elimination of the intermediaries, coca will return to its normal value instead
of the speculative price that prevailed until yesterday. This step is highly bene-
ficial to the poorer classes who really chew coca.

NEWLY APPOINTED OFFICIAL APPEALS TO YOUTH TO JOIN FIGHT ON DRUGS
La Paz PRESENCIA in Spanish 24 Mar 81 p 4 _
[Text] Santa Cruz, 23 March--Calling upon youth the join the battle against drug
trafficking, the new chief of the narcotics office, Lt Col Lucio Loayza, took
office in this district.
Loayza is replacing Col Jose Carnacho of the National Guard for Public Security
(GNSP), who was accused by drug trafficking suspects of being an accomplice in
this activity and engaging in a cover-up.
Col Camacho requested an indefinite leave of absense shortly after being accused,
in order to prepare his defense. He maintained that the accusation was vile and
slanderous, and that he would file criminal charges against his accusers.
- In a press conference called by the Eighth Army Division, where ten suspects were
turned over to regular justice officials, ~he narcotics chief was accused of
being involved in these activities. At least two of the suspects claimed to -
military authorities that Col Camacho knew about a large-scale cocaine �actory
q that was raided by the army on the highway to Camiri.
Military Actions
Meanwhile, the army continues to carry out its sweep-up operations in this
district, using troops with special training in anti-guerrilla warfare, the
so-called Green Berets of thc Ranger Regiment.
The local press, quoting "reliable sources," reported today on new operations by
- [he Manchego regiment. Since Monday, it was reported, at least six more cocaine
- factories have been discovered.
_ This means that more than a dozen factories have been discovered and raided by
the army since the armed forces announced their participation in the baltle
against cocaine trafficking.
- In a related development, a committee of the National Commission on the Struggle
= against Drug Trafficking, r~cently created, is operating in Santa Cruz. It is -
headed by Col David Fernandez, former minister of the interior, who reportedly -
came to inspecC the regional offices and to coordinate activities.

claimed that a meeting of drug trafficking and cocaine processing ringleaders was
- held recently.
Col Moises Chirique stated that in recent days in MonCero, the second-largest
city of the department, there was a mEeting of drug trafficking leaders. They
agreed to send two emissaries to Brazil to hire gunmen.
The measure supposedly was designed to counterract the intensive effort by the
armed forces, and to eliminate those who are leading the repression effort, said

Survey on Coca Cultivation
La Paz HOY in Spanish 23 Mar 81 p 4
[Text] A survey is being conducted in E1 Chapare to determine the incidence ~f
coca cultivation, reported officials of the Ministry of Peasant Affairs.
= According to the preliminary data compiled so fa r, they said, during the last
2 years the groduction of coca in this region has increased fivefold over that of
the immediately preceding periods.
Land under Cultivation
All the data indicate that most of the arable land in the region has been used
- for coca cultivation.
In recent years citrus fruits, rice and other food products have been replaced by
- coca in this manner.
Survey
The survey will determine for certain the degree to which coca production has
overtaken other crops.
For this purpose, the last 2 years are being use d as a base period, and in the
near future a study will be made of the last decade, so as to undertake a compara-
tive analysis of the region's agricultural and socio economic situation.
This research, they stated, will also reveal to what extent local peasants and
settlers can replace those crops, and with what ot her products, to assure them of
a stable income.
- The survey is about to be finished, and once it is completed the data will be
processed by compu[er. Later a similar study will be made of other areas of coca
leaf production.
Coca Depositories to Be Esta blished
La Paz HOY in Spanish 22 Mar 81 p 9
- [Text] Two large cocaine depositories will be es tablished in order to control
the marketing of the leaf.
This information was obtained from the explanation provided by authorities of the
National Council on the Struggle against Drug Traf ficking, an organization whose
goal is the total eradication of the illicit ac tivity. In recent times drug
trafficking has attained dramatic proportions.
- The Department of Control, Supervision and Marketi ng of Coca is now undertaking
the necessary studies to enable it to set up the dep ositories, which will be loca-
ted in Los Yungas, La Paz and E1 Chapare, Cochabamba.

The marketing of the leaf will be allowed only for the purpose of traditional ~
consumption, and the principal market for such consumption is in the rural areas
and mining districts.
According to the report put out by the authorities, one of the reasons for the
growth in the p rocessing and marketing of cocaine is the uncontrolled production
- of coca leaves i n the above-mentioned areas.
The control eff o rt will take time, because the illegal activity cannot be eradi-
cated immediately, given the complex organization of the drug traffickers that
are operating in the country.
By next week the complete team of the National Council on the Struggle against
Drug Trafficking should have been formed, with representatives of all the
agencies designa ted by the Supreme Decree. -

arrested drug trafficker Waldir Ferreira, knowzi as Waldir
Orelinha," in Campo Grande yesterday. Ferreira, aged 43, is one of ,
the major suppliers to lesser traffickers who operate in the Rural
_ Zone and in Sepetiba. As he left his luxurious residence at Rua
Hildegard Noronha 34, handcuffed and accompanied by his ~rother
Walter, who was also arrested, Ferreira shouted to a group of neigh-
bors: "The M~ddN~OnMiNAe� _
_ y(the police) are trying to ruin me; you are witne~ses,
it's all a frame-up!" _
Earlier, the'police had arrested Federal Highway patrolman Jose Gomes Mendonca as
he was leaving the house. Mendonca, aoed 25, was armed with a.38-caliber -
revolver and was charged with possession of a firearm. Explaining his presence _
- there, Mendonca said he had come to buy a taxi from Waldir (he showed 55,000
cruzeiros), but that Waldir had not transferred title and the deal was not con-
summated. At that time, the police learned that "Oreli~iha" was known to Mendonca -
as "Horatio." -
Several packets of cocaine were found--about 28 grams--as were envelopes of mari-
huana, many canceled checks, bank deposit receipts, check stubs, a scale, a 12-
gauge shotgun, and two .38- and .22-caliber revolvers.
Accusation
An anonymous tip led to the arrest of Waldir Orelinha, who says he is an estab-
lished businessman in Campo Grande, at Estrada do Lau~eirao Pequeno 98. The in-
dividual who reported him gave investigator Nelio Machado the name and address
of the trafficker, claiming Waldir was responsible for supplying drugs to traf-
fickers in the Rural Zone and in Sepetiba and that he only dealt in large quan-
tities. The informant added that the drugs were stored in Waldir's house, and
- that he only delivered them personally to the traffickers, at previously arranged -
- locations.
- The accusation led to 10 days of investigation, until the police were certain
that the narcotics were stored in the house. The police were impressed by the

the early morning hours, when even more people appeared. Delegate Walterson
Botelho requested and obtained a search warrant. When the police arrived at
the house, they arrested highway patrolman Mendonca and ordered hi~ to call
Waldir out. When Waldir saw it was the police, he attempted to prevent the
agents from entering, but he had to yield to force. In one of the bedrooms,
in two dresser drawers, police found a shotgun with the inscription "Signal
Pistol Mark 5 R. F. Sedgley Inc 19441," and two revolvers, as well as ammuni-
tion for the latter and sixteen 9-~ bullets.
- In the same place the police also found 28 grams of cocaine, small packets of
marihuana, check stubs, deposit receipts, tickets and other papers. Another
packet of marihuana was found in the kitchen, under the refrigerator. From the
bedroom, the police also confiscated an automobile radio, five tape players, a
tape recorder, three amplifiers, money and three checks. In one of the base-
ment rooms they found a scale, which was also confiscated.
.
Confession
- The search of the house lasted about 2 hours, in the presence of Waldir, his
wife, his brother Walter, Walter's wife, and patroYman Mendonca. Seeing that
further denial would be futile, Waldir decided to talk. He said that shortly
_ before the c3rnival period, in Sepetiba, he had bought 250 grams of cocaine
_ from trafficker "Toninho Biagio," whose real name is Antonio Marcio Biagio.
Iie paid 750 cruzeiros per gram, to be sold at 1,250 cruzeiros.
He added that he had a few kilos of marihuana, but he refused to name his sup-
plier. He said the marihuana found in his house was for his owu use.
- Waldir has three automobiles, a duplex apartment on the Estrada do Lameirao -
Pequeno and a"Kombi" [van]. He has owned bars, bakeries and warehouses. The
house he lives in belongs to his wife, who inherited it.
Waldir's police file, forwarded by the Felix Pacheco Institute, indicates that
he has already been charged with one hold-up, two assaults, possession of a _
- weapon and one charge of corruption of minorG. The charged were all brought
in the 35th Police Precinct in Campo Grande.

DRUG TREATMENT SERVICE TO BE INITIATED ON 15 APRIL
Rio de Janeiro 0 GLOBO in Portuguese 27 Mar 81 p 12
[Text] On 15 April, a drug treatment and rehabilitation service will go into _
operation in the Narcotics Division. The plan for creation of the service was
- approved by Gen Waldyr Muniz, secretary of security, who dEtermined that it
should be executed as quickly as possible.
Two psychiatrists, a social worker, a psychologist and a nurse's aid, as well as _
. trainees in their last year, will be on duty in the Drug Division. One of the -
main functions is to provide guidance for parents and to present lectures in
high schools and colleges on the dangers of drug use.
Psychiatrist Osmar Santos, who is responsible for execution of the program, said
that the dependents are younger and younger, and the critical problem is now in
the 13- to 18-year age bracket. Chief Rogerio Monte Karp, director of the DPE
_ [Specialized Police Department], and Valterson Botelho, chief of narcotics,
_ joined Osmar Santos in explaining how the service will function.
A similar service has already functioned in the Narcotics Division in Niteroi.
It was created by Monte Karp in 1971. On suggestion of Botelho, the same team
that worked there is being transferred to Rio, where the service will be ex-
panded.
Karp declared that student Mauro Roberto Franceschi da Silveira, who died last
week of a drug overdo se, might have been saved if the service had already been
in operation. -
= Karp said that, with the new drug law, the addict who has been convicted could
be obliged to ~dergo treatment for up to 2 years.
' "We want to create a new philosophy. With this service, instead of going to
_ jail, the ae~endent would see a psychiatrist. Thus, even during the police
phase, he would receive adequate treatment. It would not be necessary to put
him in a cell together with dangerous criminals, which is always bad."
The chief explained that, later, the dependent would be sent to a clinic of
IASERJ, INAMPS [National Institute for Social Security Medical Assistance] or _
_ 32

IPASE jWelfare and Aid Institute for Civil ServantsJ, where treatment would con-
tinue until the police investigation was completed. Generally, there should be
tlo internments in the Narcotics Division service.
The DPE director also explained that he would direct all police precincts ta send
addicts directly to the Narcotics Division on their arrest. _
"Either because of the effect of the drug or because of withdrawal, he could have _
an unexpected reaction to his arrest. For this reason, it is not advisable to
put an addict in a common cell." ~
Parents ~
~ Valterson Botelho said that lately he has had visits from parents seeking advice
because their children are drug addicts. This was one of the reasons that led
him to order expansion of the existing service in Niteroi. Psychiatrist Santos
said the results obtained in Niteroi were very good.
"Among the men, we achieved a recovery ra~e of between 70 and 80 percent. As
_ for the women, the rate was 30 to 40 percent. The female addict always presents
a higher profile of affect. [She may be suffEring from] the loss of virginity
or unrequited love. Hence her recovery is very difficult."
Santos said that, until recently, 80 percent of the addicts treated were mari-
huana users. Now, he observed, there has been a considerable increase in the
number of cocaine addicts being treated.
i
Santos called attention to the use of shoemaker's glue and "lanca-perfumes" ~
[ether atomizers]. .
"Lately, the use of the 'lanca-perfume' has increased greatly, to enhance enjoy-
ment of a certain kind of music. It cieates a psychological dependency. They
have banned the music of Baby Consuelo, who sang about 'baseado' [marihuana],
but the 'lanca-perfume' is still around." '
Among the plans for the Narcotics Division service is creation of the First Anti- _
drug Week, during which various professionals will undertake to explain the dan-
gers of drugs, through lectures, slide exhibits and displays of drugs. Emphasis
will be on prevention.

ARRESTS BASED ON PHONE TIPS~-Relying on anonymous calls to telephone numbers
263-6130 and 283-8236, ~~olice of the Nar;:otics Division yesterday made arrests
- and drug seizures in Rua Sao Martinho, Estacio; Rua do Livramento, Saude; and
Taquara, Jacarepagua. On Avenida Sernambetiba, Barra da Tij uca, Argentin~_
student Pablo Alejandro Tortola, aged 20, was arrested with 5 grams of cocaine
and a Facket of marihuana in his possessi~n. The Argentine, the only suspect
who was not reported by an informant, was arrested in a police roundup of *_he
Second Operational Sector of SORFA (Automobile Robberies and Thefts). On ques-
tioning, he said he bought the cocaine for 10,000 cruzeiros and received the
marihuana as a"bonus" (a "present"). Alejandro said his suppliers were Ricardo
Barros Belloti, aged 21, and a man wearing a yellow shirt, later identified as
Antonio Jose Pereira de Freitas, aged 26. The two men were arrested, but denied
the allegation. On Rua Sao Martinho Estacio, Narcotics Division agents arrested
retailer Reginaldo dos Santos,''China", who sold cocaine in front of house No 30
[on that street], and two men who were with him; Edvaldo Joaquim Nascimento and ,
Carlos Alberto dos Santos. The polic~ established that the latter two men had
no connection with the case, but they want to question them as trial witnesses.
~ House No 30 is the resident of Emilia Delfiaa Caetano, aged 51, who had fled on
arrival of the police but had dropped her identification. According to Carlos
Alberto, she is the oldest drug trafficker in the area, having inherited the
drug sales point from her husband Toninho de Vinte, who died some time ago. In
front of Building No 177, Rua do Livramento, Saude, Laudelino Miguel, a 52-year-
old dock janitor, was arrested with c packets of marihuana in his pockets. His
suppliers escaped, however. [Text] [Rio de Janeiro 0 GLOBO in Portuguese

ARUG WAR IN CAXIAS--Three drug rings were warring over cantrol of the drug traf-
- fic in Duque de Cax ias. According to police who are familiar with affairs in
Lower Fluminense, the result has been an increasing number of murders in the
region. The rings are led by Jorge Antonio Batista de Oliveira, "Jorge Bola";
Carlos Ivan da Silva, "Balao''; and Reginaldo dos Santos Barbosa, "Gica". The
lasC named has already been eliminated, however; last Wednesday, two men--one
of the~.n may have been Bolao himself--killed Gica on a bus in Bairro Pantanal.
Police feel that recent battles between gang memb~rs indicate that Bolao's
henchmen ar~ gaining the advantage. According to investigations conducted re-
- cently, Bolao�s gang murdered Jose Ailton de Souza and Sergio dos Santos, both
henchmen of Jorge Bola, and Gerson Alves de Oliveira, a member of Gica's ring.

DRUG CROP IN OAXACA WORTH MORE THAN LEGAL CROPS
Mexico City EXCELSIOR in SFanish 7 Mar 81 pp 4-A, 20-A
[Article by Rafael Medina C.]
[Text] Food crops amount to 3.6 billion; marihuana and poppy
crops to 10 billion.
The state is a new market for the exploitation of narcotics
traf f ickers .
Almost all of the Mixes are engaged in drug cultivation; "it's
what produces an income."
Oaxaca, Oax., 6 March--The cultivation of ~ope in this area exceeds lawful cultiva-
tions by more than 7 billion pesos and makes this state the No 1 cultivator of
marihuana and poppies in the country. Previously the main producer was the state
- of Sinaloa.
The planting and harvesting of corn, sorghum, kidney beans, rice, wheat, sesame,
and cotton, among other things, represented an income during the 1980 spring-swnmer
season of a little more than 3.6 billion pesos, according to official reports fur-
nished by the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources.
In the meantime, i.f the marihuana and poppy crops destroyed by the air fleet of
the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic and members of the Mexican army
had reached the centers of consumption, they would have yielded more than 10 bil-
lion pesos.
' The poverty and isolation in which 90 percent of the 2.8 million inhabitants of
- this area are located, between the mountainous Sierra Madre Oriental and the
Sierra Madre Occidental, provide a 95,000 square kilometer area for a new market
of exploitation for drug traffickers.
Taking advantage of the poverty and ignorance, the lack of roads, and the neglect
of the people of Oaxaca who are grouped in 570 municipalities, drug traffickers
offer them big amounts of money to plant marihuana and poppies, give them very
effective means of taking care of the planting, and assure them that "it is on
orders of the government."

_ The drug traffickers attain their illicit aims by offering up to 150,000 pesos to
the peasants of the central valleys ~f the state to have them rent the ir land
exclusively for the planting of marihuana.
Th: planting of corn--392,277 hectares were harvested, with a yield of 400,000
tons; sorghum--2,707 hectares were harvested, with a yield of 5,523 tons; kidney
beans--12,727 tons; rice--3,463 hectares were harvested, with a yield of 7,224
_ tons; wheat--2,719 hectares, with a yield of 13,576 tons; sesame--13,4 4 1 hectares, -
with a yield of 9,205 tons; cotton--3,023 hectares, with a yield ,~f 10,570 bales--
_ among other things--yielded the peasants 3.6 billion pesos.
In the meantime, if the planting of 2,077,469 square meters of marihuana--about
206 hectares--had not been destroyed, it would have yielded the drug traffickers
about 7.176 billion pesos. The planting of the destroyed poppies would have -
meant an income of a little more than 3 billion pesos. -
"The fight against drug trafficking in the area," acknowledges Celso Ordonez, the
regional coordinator of the Office of the Attorney General of the Repu~ lic, "is
difficult. The drug traffickers take advantage of the ignorance of the peasants, -
the lack of roads, the poverty of the people, the fact that the federal authc~ri-
ties cannot reach many of the sites in the mountain ridge. they give the peasants =
- money to sow death."
Ne states that in many places--"I can tell you there is an infinity of them, so I ~
- will not name them"--the drug traf�ickers arrive like cor~querors. "They give them
- equipment, money, aid, and above all, assurance, adding tha~ they are f rom the
gavernment; that later, when the peasants gather the harvest, they wil 1 give the
- peasants more money."
Celso Ordonez points out that many times when they arrive to fumigate large extents
- of marihuana and poppy plantings, "the people receive us with applaus e and greet-
ings from below. They think we are the same people who invited them to plant mari-
huana. When we land and tell them that that is bad, they agree, expla ining that
the ones who gave them seed and money also were in helicopters and wer e well armed."
A survey made by EXCELSIOR in the area of the central valleys of Oaxac a made it
possible to ascertain the poverty and negl~ct of thousands of peasants. _
- In Nuevo y Viejo Santiago Tula, under the jurisdiction of the town of Zacatepec
Mixe, 54 air minutes by helicopter from the capital of Oaxaca and 620 f eet above
sea level, located in the lower part of the Sierr~a, some 600 Mixes timidly observe =
the arrival of the helicopters of the Office of ihe Attorney General of the Repub-
lic.
_ Members of. the army protect the landing of the helicopter ~hich moment s before
destroyed 3 hectares of planted marihuana near that place. Two persons are now
under arrest.
Only the Mixe children and womun approach the spot. The mEn, menacing, wait at
a distance to find out Pahat is happening.

Ciro Antonio Justo, principal of the federal rural school, "Ninos Heroes," speaks
- first, because he speaks Spanish and Mixe--Zapoteco, in talking with the envoys.
~ Iie says that almost all the Mixe people "are engaged in the planting of marihuan~.
They do so because it is the only thing that brings them an income. Here," he
- says as he points around him, "no one helps us. Therefore, when they arrive and
offer us money, we agree to plant marihuana. I do not do so, because I am the
- teacher, the one who must educate them, get rid of their ignorance."
- Ciro Antonio Justo, who lives in sub-human conditions, without a budget for the
maintenance of the school--in a wooden hut covered with asbestos sheets, where the
heat is unbearable--cannot describe their poverty.
"I teach and that is all I know. We are worn out, but the government has promised
to help us, to bring us new desks and a blackboard. That will help to rid the
children of ignorance."
Some 80 small children attend the forgotten small schoolhouse. All of them want
to "rid themselves of ignorance," but others also want to go up in the helicopter
that takes away those who, because of ignorance, plant marihuana.
Wide-eyed, 6-year-old Gabino ~amacho Garcia, with a half-smile that he covers with
his hands, refus~:s to talk with the news reporter. Gabino is the center of at-
traction of his s~,:~ll school. He is asked if he knows Spanish yet and in reply
he cries. He does not speak, twists his whole body, and puts his hands up to his
face.
Such is not the case with 10-year-old Marta Torres Camacho, his cousin. She is
fair, has a cleft chin, thin lips, and large, light brown eyes. She is perhaps
the daughter of strangers who visited the area to offer mor.ey for the planting of
marihuana.
"I can read and write. I also know Spanish," she says, coming forward after hear-
. ing the question.
But most of the small children do not know how to read and write, in spite of the
teacher's efforts. Many children attended only a few classes and then, on orders
of their parents, no longer went to school.
The school is located in an open space on a hill that is guarded by members of the
army and where ti_:~ helicopters of the PGR [Office of the Regional Attorney General]
land.
Again, only the children and the women go near the place. They wait for the two
, persons who were arrested for planting marihuana to go into the helicopter. There
is great expectatior.tahen it does happen. The children run when the propellers
begin to turn at high speed and raise an enormous cloud of dust. The two planters
of marihuana are observed from below by everyone. The children would like to go
up in the helicopter. Maybe they will, tomorrow.

IRAN
HEROIN SMUGGLED INTO EUROPE
NC290738 (Clandestine) Radio Iran in Persian to Iran 1300 GMT 28 Apr 81
[Report by Radio Iran's corr~spondent in Paris--live or recorded]
[Text] The French public's strong rage has been aroused against the ruie =
of the clergy because of the smuggling of heroin from the Islamic Republic.
This heroin has, up to now, either killed, blinded or paralyzed a large
number of people. The French people recently realized that the heroin
smuggled from Iran has increased (?twentyfold) since Khomeyni started his
rule, and that at present Iranian heroin takes up 80 percent of the entire
West European drug market.
During the past regime the government had been successful in limiting, as
best as possible, the smuggling of drugs. For years and years Iran's
heroin formed only between 3-4 percent of the European drug market, a
percentage which was falling each day.
_ It is interesting to note that when numerous massacres were carried out by
executioners such as Sadeq Khalkhali, there were some simpletons who be-
lieved that ~Chomeyni's regime was truly working toward the eradication of
drug smugglers and drug addiction. However, the truth is that drug smugglers
have never been so free to act as they are now, and this in itself shows -
that Sadeq Khalkhali's lahel "the antidrug campaign," pasted on Khalkhali's
massacres, was a pretext by which political opponents could be removed,
Undeniable facts and figures do not allow the regime's leaders :o continue
their demagoguery much longer and to continue to claim that they are fightiag -
againa.t smugglers.
In a discussion with a spokesman for the large antidrug and addiction center .
in Paris, he stated that the smuggling of Iranian heroin has increased so
- much that ~ddicts thraughout Europe--especially in Holland, Britain and
France--can easily find heroin, cheaply and abundantly.
But what has enraged Europe's public is that the hero3n manufactured by the
Islamic Republic was poisoned. An extremely large quantity, which arrived in

Europe from the Islamic Republic 2 months ago, showed that the heroin con-
tained a fungus which could kill or b13nd the user. Up to date, a large
number of users in [words indistinct] and addic tion center and of the
Public Health Ministry in Paris have asked radio stations to broadcast
repeated statements at specific hours asking addicts, who may have used
this type of heroin, ~to immediatelS? report to the nearest hospital for a
checkup. According to doctors, the poisonous f ungus contained in this
heroin either blinds, paralyzes or kills the us er.
Interpol believes that the abundance of Iranian heroin is not a natural _
phenomenon. Informed experts believe that Iranian smugglers have _
collaborators among influential government off icials, such as the revolution
[word indistinct], the clergy or the cotrmiittees, since the manufacture of _
heroin needs large laboratories, which are practically impossible to hide
unless these laboratories are (?guarded) on orders of the revolution guards,
committees and clergy.

[Text] Tehran, April 17 (AFP)--Seven executions on 14th April for drug offences--
six m.en and a w~oman--provided ample proof, if any were needed, that Iran is not

Since the former drug squad chief, Ayatollah Khalkhali quit his post five months
ago, 35 drug offenders have been executed fn the provinces.

The authorities now claim that poppy cultivation from which heroin is extracted has
ended in the country. Cultivation was banned in September 1979, and wheat and bar-
- ley crops now occupy the 30,000 hectares previously devoted to poppy growing.
Before the Islamic Revolution the poppy crop was estimated at between 400 and 600
- tons annually, placing Iran amonq the world's top producers. 4,2 tons of drugs,
including 54 kilos af heroin, seized over the last five months from about 5,000
people come mostly fxom Pakistan, Afghanistan and Turkey, according to Hojjatole-
slam Zargar, special prosecutor f~r drug offenses.
More than 1,000 people facing execution had their sentences reviewed, and about 85
percent were given additional discharges, Mr. Zarqax said.
He pointed out that, in addition, nearly 2,000 drug offenders had been freed to _
mark the second anniversary of the Islamic Republic and the Iranian New Year on _
M.~rch 21.
But he also recognized that Ayatollah IQzalkhali's strongarm methods had dismantled
most of the major drug netw~orks in Iran. The clampdown had also pushed up drug
prices and consequently cut down the number of drug users, he claimed. _
Mr. Zarqar praised Iran's methods of handling drug offenders. In the first in-
stance, he said, they were taken to a drug center--up to 70 a day to the Tehran
center alone. _
They were judged on ths spot and simple "users" were often either sent home to
_ their families or to rehabilitation centers.

TWO LEBANESE ARRESTED IN HASHISH CASE `
- Kuwait AL-ANBA' in Arabic 15 Mar 81 p 4
[Text] The security police arrested Hasan M. and Mahmud M., both Lebanese, for
trafficking in drugs and promoting the same in Kuwait. The arrest, which occurred
at the homes of the two suspects in al-Salimiyyah and al-'Umriyyah, resulted in the
confiscation of 3 kilograms of hashish which they had intended to distribute among
their agents after acquiring the hashish from a sister countrj�.
Information received by the security systems had gointed co the visi'i~le activities
of each ot the suspec~s in the drug trafficking �iel;i.
As part of the plan to catch them redhanded, one secret source was handed 650 dinars,
marked by the secret policy. He was told to go to the first suspect and pretend tYat
he wanted to buy a large amount of drugs. The source then carried out his mission
and got the suspect's approval, followed by his accompanying him to the al-'Umriyyah
area where the suspect entered a house. He returned af ter a short period and handed
the source the requested drugs. AC the mament of pick-up, which occurred in the
al-Salimiyyah area, and by means of the previously agreed upon signal, the secret ~
police members arrested the suspect. Upon searching him, the marked mdney was found
- in his possession. Tixe drugs which he had just delivered to the source were also con-
~ fiscated.
Upon confronting the suspect with the confiscated materials, he first tried to deny
everything. However, he later confessed h3s gu~lt, pointing out to the existence of '
- a similas amount, about 2 kilograms of Iiashish, with his partner in distributing drugs
- , in Kuwait, and which they consecutively bring from Lebanon.
In the ligt~t of these confessions,.the secret police hurried to the latter suspect'~
home in the 'Umriyyah area, where the~ found the abovementioned amount of drugs
hidden in his briefcase. Upon confronting him with the accusations directed at him, _
he confessed and referred to his participation with the first suspect in bringing
drugs from outside and txafficking in the same in Kuwait. _
= The two suspects and the confiscated goods were referred to the offices of tk~e pro- -
secutor gen.eral, who ordered that they be placed in detention pending imvestigations. ~

ALMOST ALL HASHISH IN DENMARK SOLD FROM CHRISTIANIA
Copenhagen BERLINGSKE TIDENDE in Danish 23 Mar 81 p 3 -
[Article by Jorn Mikkelsen: "Almos~ All Hashish ir. Denmark Is Sold Through
Christiania"] -
[Text] "Almost all the hashish that is smoiced in Denmark goes through Christiania.
Both the politicians and the police know that, but they all pretend not to see the -
_ problem because it is such a horrifyingly big one." ~
~ So says Hans Lovetand, who formerly lived in Christiania for 4 years and was a
spokesman for the residents, but moved away because drugs totally wrecked the
neighbort~ood. Now he can sit in his apartment a~nd look over into the free city.
"On summer days, there can be as many as 30 people, each with his little stall,
_ selling hashish. It is so undisguised that anybody can see what is going on.
There are even the police, too, who make an example of somebody now and then and
_ iunpose a fine. There is a sort of tacit agreement between the distributors and
the police, who do not make a body search if the distributor turns over the dope =
voluntarily. Qui.te simply, there is nat enough manpower to keep Christiania free
from 3rugs," Hans Lovetand says.
' Checking is Easier
- He thinks it is most convenient for the authorities to havP hashish selling con-
centrated in one place. That makes checking the community easier, and it saves a
large number of people the unpleasant experience of observing the degrading condi-
_ tions unde~ which many drug addicts live in Christiania.
"But it would not do any good to close down Christiania. The community of hashish
addicts would simply move somewhere else. Hashish will always be available in the
. places where it is smoked," he says.
The discussion of Christiania flared up again after the residents themselves
stated that 20 kilograms of hashish valued at 750,000 kroner are sold in the free
city every day. That agrees with the amount reported b,y the Disturbances Patrol
of the Copenhagen Police. In all, a quarter of a billion kroner worth of hashish
is sold in Christiania. ~

POLICE TO INCREASE EFFORT IN C:HRISTIANIA TO STEM DRUGS
Copenhagen BERLINGSKE TIDENDE in Danish 24 Mar 81 p 3
[Article by Anders Wiig and Lisbeth Wirgowitsch: "Increased Police Effort Against
the Selling of Drugs in Christiania"]
[Text] "If an in~rease in the police force and many technical resources are needed
to deal with the drug problem, I am sure that there is parliamentary backing for
providing the police with the means required to solve the problem," said Minister
of Justice Ole Espersen yesterday at a meeting on the subject of "merchants of
death by narcotics" axranged by the Legal Discussion Club of the University of
_ Copenhagen.
Ole Espersen said that the financial cost of strengthening the police in their
work is infinitesimally small by comparison with what it costs to treat a drug ad-
dict. "The community spends 50 million kroner evpry year to treat addicts, and if
the problem can be solved by strengthening the police, it must be done for that
reason," said Ole Espersen, who described the drug problem as the most important
one this spring where the Danish Farliament is concerned.
- The executive body of the police force wants to increase its efforts directed
against crime in Christiania. Police Commissioner Poul Eefsen and his leading as-
sociates, in the light of disclosures that 2,800 people had made pickups of hashish
- in the "free city" on Friday, held meetings on the drug situation in Christiania
all day Monday.
The Police Commissioner met with leaders of the Disturbances Patrol, ~the Narcotics
Section and the chief of the Criminal Police, Deputy Police Comissioner ole Nor-
" gaard, among others. A vigorous effort to render the patrolling, police raids and
- other methods of checking on the residents of the so-called "free city" effective
can be expected in the ~.mmediate future. It has been known for many years in the
- Copenhagen police headquarters that people are dealing in narcotics--principally
- hashish--in Christiania, and the Disturbances Patrol, in particular, has evinced
very intense interest and carried out raids and undercover patrollings in civilian
- clothing which time and again brought storms of protest from the residents. In
fact, a drug raid was carried out yesterday in Christiania. It was concentrated
on the Woodstock tavern and the area around it. It developed into an attack on
' the members o~ the Disturbances Patrol with fists and throw-n stones and bottles,
so that they had to call for help from the uniformed police.

JUSTICE MINISTER: HARD DRUGS IN PRACTICE ARE LEGALIZED
- Copenhagen BERLINGSKE TIDENDE in Danish 26 Mar 81 p 1
[Article by Chr. Bronum and Lisbeth Wirgowitsch: "Hard Drugs and Hashish Legalized
in Practice"]
- [Text] "The use af hashish and hard narcotic materials is legalized in Denmark in
practice."
That is what Minister of Justice Ole Esperson told t..he BERLINGSI~ TYDENDE after the
hash~sh festival in Christiania last weekend in which 2,800 people participated.
- "The police have ox~ly limited means at their disposal, and therefore they must as-
sigii priorities in their work," says Ole Espersen. "Z'he ~olice simply do not have
the ability to take thousands og people into custody in Christiania. Furthermore,
I think that I, and other hashish opponents, must consider wl.iether the problem
cannot be tackled in ways which do not involve the use of the police and the ju-
dicial system--through more extensive educational work, for example."
- Ole Espersen stresses the fact that the police must put their manpower into action
against the most serious crimes first. "Thus, for example, the criminal code re-
' gards heroin smuggling as a more serious thing than hashish smuggling. The police
take action against both of these offenses, but if less serious violations of the
criminal code are involved the police must assiqn priorities, and I believe that,
with the resources the police have at present, priorities were properly assigned."
At a meeting in the I.egal Discussion Club on Monday, Ole Espersen stated that the
_ police will be given the zeeded means in the form of increased manpower and tech-
~ nical resources in the fight against the abuse of hard drugs. Ole Espersen said
that there was support in the Folketing for giving the palice additional financial
, means.

- COPENHAGEN POLICE'S NARCOTICS SECTION TO BE EXPANDED
Copenhagen BERLINGSKE TIDEIVDE in Danish 27 Mar 81 p 2
[Article by "bba." and "cb": "Narcotics Police Being E~~arged"]
[Text] The strength of the Narcotics Section of the Copenhagen Police is now being
incre ased by the addition of 12 policemen.
"The decision to increase the strength ~f the Narcotics Section was arrived at by
the executive body of the police in Copenhaqen recently, and that occurred in view
of the steadily increasing figures which clearly indicate that drug offenses con-
- stitute a growing ~roblem," says Ole Norgaard, the deputy police commissioner.
The present strength of the Narcotics Section is 76 people. "But even if we were
to increase personnel to 450 people there would always be the same quantity of
heroin in the streets," says Ole Norgaard. "The only thinq that would happen
would be that we would get more cases a+nd would confiscate a larger amount of
- dr.ugs."
In regard to the problem of arresting uaers of drugs, Jimmy Stahr., the chairman of
the Legal Committee of the Folketing, says, "If the police were to arrest users of
hashish and hard drugs, we would have to build an unprec~dented number of new
= prison cells. As the situation is at present, we quite simply have no space for
hashish users and narcotics addicts."
In saying that, Jimmy Stahr confirms what Minister of Justice Ole Espersen to~d
the BERLINGSKE TIDENDE yesterday. Ole Espersen stated that the use of hashish and
hard drugs is legalized in Denmark in practice.
The justice minister's stateraent reqarding the system's impoter.~e with respect to
druq addicts gave rise to a number of questions in the Foll~etiiig yESterday and can
be expected to be taken up in a discussion in the Legal Committee with the Minister
of Justice and Minister of the Intarior Henning Rasmussen.
Jimmy Stahr states that the question of increased resources for treating drug ad-
dicts is one of the things being cr~nsidered as a possible way of combatting drugs
_ more effectively. A number of Folketing members who are on the Legal Committee
and the Social Committee will try to get the problem clarified at the Justice
Ministry's big hearing on narcotics on 6 April.

ALGERIAN SENTENCED FOR SMUGGLING 500 KILOGRAI~S HASHISH -
Copenhagen BERLINGSRE TIDENDE in Danish 2 Mar 81 p 3 _
IT~t) One of suspected chief figures behind tlie smuggling of at least 500
- kilograms o~ I~ashisn was imprisoned in Copenhagen yesterdap. He is the 34 year -
old Algerian, known to the narcotics police and among hashish smugglers as "Mr.
_ Interpol." Af ter a dramatic police chase he was s~ized in Paris on 2 Oct 1980,
where he has since served out a sentence for document falsification since he used -
_ a false TD card.
= Police Judge Michael Lyngbo received the suspect in Paris af ter a Danish extra-
dit~on request had been received. Iie is su~pected of being one of the 'oagmen
for the hashish smuggling of about 30 Algerian and Danish couriers. He denied
in the court knoyring about anp smuggling, which also lead to the arrest of his wi::e.
_ ~e ntaintains that he supports himself legally as a mover, but the police base their
auspicions on among other ttiings statements by a number of guilty couriers and
taps oP telepfione conversations.
- A wave of arrests of largely unemployed Algerians started on 12 Avgust at the
= Kastrup Airport. At that time the poa.ice got their hands on a trunk in a baggage
ch~ck room c~ntaining 350,000 kr, plus a like amount, a couple of false passports
- and a pistol in a hired car which three arrested Algerians were driving. The
pol~ce believe that the money was to be sent by courier zo Switzerland in payment
for tiashish deliveries.
Tfius, a score of hashish smugglers were caught in the police and customs net in
_ Kastrup. This occured even if the leaders of the band must have known that large
- sums were already lost and several couriers exposed. From telephone taps the
police got the impression that individuals in the ranks were suspicious regarding
some of Cheir leaders and suspected the couriers to spying on each other. That
Was the explanation to, among other things, the disappearance of one of the band's
lea.ders when he went from London to Copenhagen to pick up money. Actually, he
was arrested and imprisoned secretly. -
Since the expose began, about 20 couriers have received long prison sentences. ~
- 'I'Eie tiasish was shipped from Pakistan, packed in trunks, with no effort to camou-
flage the contents. A courier was sure to be detected if the customs made a
s>uperEicial, routine examination. Hence, the narcotics police have called the
f~lgerian couriers suicide pilots.

STUDY SHOWS THAT ONE-TIiIRD OF DRUG USERS ABLE TO STOP
Copenhagen BERLTNGSKE TIDENDE in Danish 3 Mar 81 p 3 _
[Text] A study of how 300 young people who misused narcotics in~ Copenhagen in
the course ~f a 7-gear period fare, shnws that 45 of them are dead. At the same
tim~ more than one--third of the young people have stopped drug abuse. The
xe~a~nder are more or less dependent upon narcotics.
The study involves some 300 morphine addicts, who in 1973 sought help for their
addiction either from the Copenhagen's Municipal Social Help Service at Halmtorv
or from the Copenfiagen County Hospital Nordva:~g (then the state hospital in
Golstrup~.
it is now published in a report, "Young Addicts--Seven Years Later," which was -
yesterday~made available to the pu~lic by the mayor for social affairs, Pelle
Jarmer, and soc~al d~rector, Paul Hviid Kristensen. i
_ ~
First B~g Study I
T[ze study is the first big Danish reexamination of young morphine addicts. It -
_ was undertaken by chief pl~ysician and medical direct~r Soven Haastrup, Dr. Peter
W. J'apsen, and the social workers, director Anders Gormsen., educator Steen _
Nielsen, educator Inger Scheibye, and social counselor Lis Scheibye.
Despite the sobering figures on fatalities, the results of the investigation -
are encouraging. They support the claims of previous researchers that it is
possible to break the addiction at any point during the period of addiction, and
that addicts with a long period of misuse behind them actually have a greater
chance of ending their addiction than addicts with a short period of mistise
behind them.
- The very great skepticism which treatment of older addicts generally gives rise -
to seems therefore hardly to be ~ustified.
