HASHISH FACTORY UNCOVERED
GF061412 Karachi DAWN in English 4 Oct 81 p 8
[Text] Interpol and some other international drug enforcement agencies have been
sent a"SOS" following the discovery of the activities of a well-knit, drug
smugglers' gang along with the arrest of two "couriers" by the provincial excise
hounds.
The Karachi excise police also unearthed a"hash packing factory" set up in a
house at Kausar Niazi colony in north Nazimabad along with 2,660 kilos af refined
exportable hashish, 20 kilos of hash oil and 2 ki].os of precious heroin worth
over Rs 300 million.
Announcing the details of this international drug racket, Syed Mohibullah Shah,
director general of Excise and Taxation, 3ind, told a press conference that he
expected more arrests in a couple of days including those of underworld bosses
who are on the run.
He told reporters that the seizure was an~off-shoot of heroin extracting factory
case last week as a result of intensive questioning of the accused.
The accused had set up their "factory" for packing hashish for export to European
countries and the United States in a small house having a compressor, weighi.ng
machine and other paraphernalia.
He said the modus operandi adopted in this case was unique. The contraband was
concealed in marble, onyx, electronics (in empty cassettes) and hosiery goods.
To hoodwink drug enforcement agencies they packed these articles after conceal-
ment of narcotics in polythene packing with silver foil and thin-metal containers
which were fully air-tight and finally wrapped again in polythene deposited in
wooden crates making difficult its detection even by x-ray machines, he said.
Mr Mohibullah Shah said that the whole operation was still under thorough investi-
gation and further details were expected.
In charge of the drug enforcement cell of customs, Mr Shuja Shah and superintendenr
- Mubeen Khan have also been associated with the inquiry because of some interna-
~ tional aspects, in the field of drug enforcement, Mr Shah said.

In fact, Karachi was being used as a"transit" station by the drug smugglers and
in order to hoodwink the enforcement agencies they avoided the name of "source
country," Viz, Pakistan, through dubious means, he added.
Later, director excise Anwar Shaikh and the seizing officer Niaz Baloch and
inspector Ghulam Husain took the pressmen to the site and explained the working
of the "drug packing factory" and seized contraband narcotics. Sensational
disclosures are expected.

DRUG SALES IN PUNJAB--Lahore, 20 July. There has been a frightening increase in the
sale of narcotics in thecapital and other ma~or cities of Punjab. Now these drugs
are openly on sale in the drug stores. Among these are Megathetamide, Dext~o-
methorphan and Mendrex tablets. These drugs are legally sold only with a doctor's
prescription. Among the intoxicating drugs, Megathetamide is being imported in a
quantity far in excess of legal d emand and its tablets, which are usually 25 Paisas
apiece, are being sold for a rupee and a half to 2 rupees apiece. It is being
- imported from abroad through the dry port. Addicted youth purchase these medicines
without any prescription. Officials have permitted a pharmaceutical company to
manufacture codeine cough syrup while mixing codeine in drugs is banned in Pakistan.
In addition to Lohari Bazar Market of Lahore, there are big illegal drug centers in
Faisal Abad, Multan, and Sialkot. In view of the frightening increase in the ille-
gal drug sales, the Quality Control Department of Islamabad sent a memorandum to
the Health Department of Punjab requesting it to provide the records of the manu-
facturing, stock and the sales of intoxicating drugs within 15 days. The time limit
expired and the records were never provided, nor were any measures taken to stop
their illegal sale. [Text] [Lahore NAWA-I-WAQT in Urdu 21 Jul 81 p 4] 9859
56 KILOS OF OPIUM SEIZED--The attempt to smuggle opium from Northwest Frontier ~
Province to Baluchistan has failed. The truck, No. T.R.P. 723, driven by Az'ad Khan
Niazi, when it arrived at Tanai in Southern Waziristan en route from Peshawar to
- Baluchistan, was stopped by a political clerk, Mir Shah. Mr Shah became suspicious
as the driver engaged in evasive tactics when asked to sub~ect his truck to inspec-
tion. He immediately informed higher political officials of the situation. On
conducting a search, 46 kilos of opium powder were uncovered hidden under the
clothes and packed in one-kilo bags. The truck driver, Azad Khan and his assistant
Anwar Khan were immediately taken into custody. The political officials praised
Amir Shah for his good work and hoped.that he will continue keeping an eye on public
enemies and smugglers. [TextJ [Peshawar MASHRIQ in Urdu 24 Jul 81 p 5] 9859

been learned that a member of the Karachi Council is taking a keen interest in the

peddlers with five kilos of heroin worth Rs 5 million in the international mar-

~ likely to be made and more drugs are to be recovered on the pointation of the
accused persons. It may be recalled that the Excise Police had last nabbed two
persons and discovered an illicit heroin-extracting plant in a People's Colony

HANOI CUSTOMS MAKES ARRESTS FOR OPIUM TRAFFICKING
BK020654 Hanoi Domestic Service in Vietnamese 0400 GMT 2 Oct 81
[Report on drug trafficking in Hanoi]
[Text) Over the past 9 months, 20 customs stations of the Hanoi customs office
have, in coordination with the trade and public security sectors and with the local
administration, detected and made arrests,in 344 profiteering and smuggling cases
involving the illegal trafficking of 3.1 million dong worth of 34 kinds of state-
controlled goods.
In the third quarter alone, various customs stations and mobile customs units and
teams, assisted by the people, ~oined with the market management and public security
sectors, city ward people's committees and so forth in making arrests in 2,688
cases involving illegal deal3ng in contraband goods.
Various customs stations, especially those posted at airports and the harbor, have
coordinated with the public security sector in intensifying their investigative
activities and have detected many tricks used by dishonest merchants to deceive or
bribe responsible officials. On 12 September 1981 the (Noi Ban) airport customs and
public security stations caught in the act (Nguyen Van Nhi) who, residing at 81 Nghia
Dung city block in Hanoi, hid 15 taels of gold in a radio receiver which he was
taking to Ho Chi Minh City. These stations also confiscated 37,000 dong from
(Nguyen Van ~hi), including 20,000 dong which he used to bribe the officials on
duty.
Over the past 9 months, the (Noi Ban) and Gia Lam airport customs stations alone made
arrests in 10 cases involving the illegal carrying of large sums of money.
During June and August, the Kim Lien, Hoan Kiem and Dong Da customs stations inves-
tigated and made arrests in three cases involving the trafficking of 11 kilos of
opium. Specifically, brother and sister officials at these stations have detected
many tricks used by smugglers to hide their goods, and to offer bribes to officials
in exchange for covering up their crimes.

PGR 'PILOT PLAN' FOR DRUG DESTRUCTION UNDER WAY
Fifth Phase Announced
Nuevo Lar.edo EL MANANA in Spanish 3 Sep 81 Sec B pp 1, 7
[Text] Yesterday, in Monterrey, the deputy attorney general of thC republic [PQt], Samuel
Alba Leyva, initiated the fifth phase of the Pilot Plan for the definitive eradica-
tion of drug plantations, with the participation of a special reinforcement team
which took off in eight helicoptera and two airplanes, its mission being to "clean
up" the traces of drugs remaining in the states of Michoacan, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon
and Tamaulipas.
Accompanied by Carlos Aguilar Garza, coordinator of the Federal Public Ministry
agencies in the northeastern part of the republic, and the five federal proaecutors
from Monterrey, the deputy attorney general gave the symbolic "fla~ging" that marked
the takeoff of the aircraft, on the special platform at the international airport
in the Nuevo Laredo capital.
- Alba Leyva, general coordinator of the campaign against drug trafficking, had
previously told EL MANANA that "it is the unswerving intention of the government
of the republic to 'clear' the entire national territory of drug plantations;
and we are engaged in this task on a 24-hour basis, every day of the year."
Carlos Aguilar Garza, for his part, explained that this "pilot plan" is being
enacted in areas wherein there had previously been a systematic attack on the
planting and harvesting of drugs; so that the "mop up" by this apecial brigade is
merely to corroborate the fact that there are no tracea of the crops, and to
exterminate them in the event that they should still be surviving.
The special brigade consists of six, four-seat 206 helicopters, two of the 2-12
type with a larger capacity and two airplanes, all with their respective crews
Pspecially trained in the search, spotting and extermination of drug plantations.
Tt~e ~1ar Is Without Quarter
Alba Leyva announced that the results of the four previous phases of t?lis "pilot
plan" proved to be the ones desired by the attorney general of the republic, Oscar
Flores Sanchez; because a la~ge FFrcQntage of the planting, harvesting and market-
ing of drugs was eli.mi.nated.

However, he explained, this has been no easy task, because the drug traffickers have
~ put up fierce resistance and are attempting by all means to counter the action of
the law, even assaulting the very lives of the federal agents detailed to pursue
~hem.
He added that drug trafficking is a business involving many millions of pesos, which
the criminals refuse to give up, despite their realization of the serious harm that
they are causing thousands of persons who are addicts; and for this reason they
resort to weapons to defend the empire that they have aucceeded in building.
He announced that some of the helicopters taking part in thi~. "pilot plan" are
equipped with "pliers" especially fitted into the front section, which break the
cables which the drug traffickers themselves install in the ravines and other steep
mountain areas, and with which they have succeeded in bringing down some of these
aircraft, with a loss of lives.
After the planes took off, bound for the aforementioned areas, the deputy attorney
general and Aguilar Garza made an inspection tour of the offices of the five Federal
Public Ministry agencies operating in Monter.rey.
Success Reported
Nuevo Laredo EL MANANA in Spanish 9 Sep 81 Sec B p 6
" [Text] A six-seat Cessna plane from the Office of the Attorney General of the
Republic assigned for air patrol to the coordinator of the Federal Public Ministry
agencies in the northeastern part of the country had engine trouble and was forced
to make an emergency landing on a section of highway known as La Coma, between San
Fernando and Ciudad Victoria, with the misfortune of striking a curb and some
warning signs which caused it to overturn, with its wheels standing upward.
Fortunately, the only two crew members, Capt Manuel Amuzurrutia Silva and technician
Alejandro Sandoval, received only minor in~uries, while the aircraft sustained
considerable damage.
The foregoing report was provided by Carlos Aguilar Garza, coordinator of the Federal
Public Ministry agencies, who ordered the damaged airplane to be kept under guard
on the site of the accident itself, so that the experts who are to come from the
Federal District may examine it and determine the causes of the engine failure.
The Cessna plane was on a police backup patrol when the trouble occurred with the
engine, which ceased operating while in flight.
The plane's captain began "gliding", taking advantage of the air currents, with
great skill on his part, because he managed to bring it down on the highway, but
the di.tch and the warning signs caused the landing to fail.
Successful Campaign

Piedras Negras EL DIARIO DE PIEDRAS NEGRAS in Spanish 13 Sep 81 Sec B p 1
[Text] An intense battle against ehe drug traffic and the growing of marihuana is
under way throughout all of Coahuila~ Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas, with sudden "raids"
made by forces from the brigade sent directly from the Office of the Attorney General
- of the Republic, under the leadership of Oscar Flores Sanchez.
Yesterday, here in Piedras Negras, the so-called "Pilot Plan" involving heavily armed
men with special training and orders to operate directly arrived at the local airport
- in a helicopter.
The group, commanded by Mr Benito Estrada, told EL DIARIO that the work ia done in
an unannounced manner, and that there has been success in destroying plantations in
_ Tamaulipa~ and Nuevo Leon, in the southern area, and in arresting some individuals
who have besn immediately turned over to the Office of thQ. Attorney General of the.
Republic.
' The work itself involves establishing unannounced checkpoints on the highways, as
well as investigation, through the questioning of thoae engaged in growing poppies
and other drug-producing plants.
The group has also been working with the individual in charge of services against
drug trafficking here on this border, Mr I~Cario Espinosa, who serves as chief of the
district.
The day before yesterday, the gruup of inen, disguised, were detailed for a ahort
period of time to the vicinity of kilometer 22, where they made a careful search
- of every vehicle heading toward this border.
Nothing could be said about the action to be taken, inasmuch as these operations are
sudden and unannounced, so as to attain the goal that has been set: namely, to
catch the public poisoners by surprise and put them where they belong, in prison,
thereby putting a final end to that activity of unlawful amassment of weath at the
, cost of the health of those who become addicted to these products that are doing
irreversible damage to the society.

TRAFFICKING ON COI~II~IERCIAL FLIGHTS UNDER INVESTIGATION
H. Matamoros EL BRAVO in Spanish 4 Sep 81 Sec A p 10
[Text] The Federal Judicial Police are continuing the investigation of the drug
trafficking that is taking place on Aeromexico's commercial flights. Several
individuals are being traced, including some women; although at this point they
are considered difficult to apprehend because they are already aware that they
have been discovered.
Meanwhile, the agent of the investigating public ministry has concluded the preli-
minary investigation of the 11 kilograms of marihuana found in a suitcase being
carried from Mexico City by the young girl Lourdes Morales Luna, 14 years of age.
The aforementioned drug-trafficking minor will appear today in the'fourth district
court, to which she has been remanded.. ;
The girl has made a fu11 confession of her crime, and has given a large number of
names of individuals implicated in this illegal activity.
As for the investigation being pursued by the Federal Judicial Police, it concerns
_ the whereabouts of those residing in this area who are participating in the ring
for which young Lourdes Morales was working.
It has been learned from the investigation that the aforementioned girl arrived with
her marihuana shipments at a residence located at 12th Street and Espana, ne~r the
corner. Sometimes she arrived with as many as two suitcases and, according to her
own confession, she had made about 12 trips.
- The young girl's accomplices number no fewer than three women, and the girl under
arrest used the name and even the identification card of one of them, both to
purchase the airline ticket and to label her baggage.
There are several male accomplices, on whom extensive inforn?ation exists. There
is also information available on their contacts in the United States, which the
Mexican authorities have given to the antidrug department of the neighboring
country, so that action may be taken against them.

MARIHUANA, PILL TRAFFICKERS GIVEN JAIL SENTENCES
7-Year Terms Ordered
_ Nuevo Laredo EL DIARIO DE NUEVO LAREDO in Spanish 5 Sep 81 Sec C p 3
[Text] After a year and 6 months spent completing the penal investigation of four
- individuals who proved to be guilty of crimes against health, the third district
judge, Ricardo Rodriguez Villarreal, handed down a sentence of l years in prison and
a fine of 10,000 pesos for each nf them.
Roberto Alvarado Camacho, Antonio Soto Ramirez, Jeronimo Banda Lei~a and Luis Javier
Rodriguez are the four sub~ects found guilty of ~rimes against health, for which
each one o� them will serve a 7-year term.
According to record 88/980 related to the probe of the aforementioned persons,
Roberto Alvarado Camacho was charged with a crime against health in the degrees of
marihuana possession and trafficking; Antonio Soto Ramirez, in the degrees of
possession, trafficking and sale of psychotropic substances; and Jeronimo Banda, ~
in i:he degrees of marihuana possession, transportation and trafficking; and,
- finally, Luis Javier, in the degrees of possession and trafficking of psychotropic
substances.
These sub~ects were captured by Federal Judicial Police agents in March of last
year. The first to be apprehended was Roberto Alvarado, during a surveillance
tour of the Victoria housing development. When searched by the federal police, he
was found to have two joints of marihuana, which he was selling to addicts for the
sum of 100 pesos.
Upon being questioned, this individual told the federal police that Antonio Soto
Ramirez, residing at 5720 Tamaulipas, was the one who was supplying the drugs at
the rate of 65 persos per "~oint."
The judicial police agents, upon continuing the investigation, succeeded in arrest-
ing Soto Ramirez who, when questioned, said that he was purchasing the marihuana
in Matehuala, San Luis Potosi, from an individual called "Lencho" Sanchez; whereas
- he was buying the psychotropic pills with Jeronimo Banda Lei3a, and reselling them
to various addicts in the town.
The long tentacles of this ring of drug traffickers wete completely dismembered

captured.
This individual had been selling pharmaceuticals which required a doctor's prescrip-
tion on those premises, at twice their price, and his leading purchaser was Jeronimo
Banda Lei~ a .
When the entire ring was captured, they were found to have over a ton of "grass"
in their possession, as well as countless toxic pills with which they had been
poisoni~g the youth of both border ports.
This attests to the fact that the perpetrator of crime will always be punished in
an exemplary manner, as in this instance wherein each one of the drug traffickers
received a well-deserved sentence, as cited above, consisting of l years' imprison-
ment and a fine of 10,000 pesos.
Marihuana Growers Sentenced
Nuevo Laredo EL DIARIO DE NUEVO LAREDO in Spanish 12 Sep 81 Sec C p 3
[Text] A prison sentence of 3 years and 2 months and a fine of 3,000 pesos was the
sentence handed down yesterday morning by Ricardo Rodriguez Villarreal, the third
district judge, against two individuals found guilty~of crimes against health.
Pedro Mendoza Alvarado, aged 42, a resident of the La Palma communal farm in the
municipality of Ca~rargo, Tamaulipas, and Sergio Salinas Gonzalez, aged 20, a resident
of Comales, Tamaulipas, are the two subjects found guilty of crimes against health,
as usual, the growing, harvesting, transporting and trafficking of marihuana, for
which they were given a sentence of 3 years and 2 months in prison.
Record 253-980 notes that both sub~ects were captured by Federal Judicial Police
forces on 26 July of last year, when the former of the two was engaged in planting
marihuana on a plot on the La Palma communal farm in the municipality of Camargo,
Tamaulipas.
_ When the federal police pursued the investigation to find the marihuana trafficking
ring involved in the case, they succeeded in arresting Sergio Salinas Gonzalez,
who was responsible for supplying the seed of the in~urious grass to Pedro Mendoza.
During the questioning, as well as in the preliminary statements of the aforemen-
tioned individuals, they told the authorities that, after harvesting the harmful
drug, they were selling it to several persons at the rate of 750 pesos per kilo-
gram. They took charge of shipping it to Reynosa, Tamaulipas, where it was taken
illegally into the United States to supply the black market in that country.

- DANGEROUS TRAFFICKER TRANSFERRED TO TIJUANA
Mexicali LA VOZ DE LA FRONTERA in Spanish 22 Aug 81. Sec B p 12
[Text] Ti,juana--The Federal Judicial Police, in compliance with a warrant for
arrest issued by the second districr_ ~udge, Carlos Tru~illo Altamirano, arrested
Merced Monge Cisneros, aged 35, so that he would respond to trial No 329-79,
being held against him for a crime against health.
This drug trafficker, a native of San Luis, Rio Colorado, Sonora, was captured in
Mexico City and brought to this town last Tuesday under strict guard, because last
year, when police forces from the neighboring country attempted to capture him,
he engaged in a gun battle with them and succeeded in escaping.
As soon as the airplane arrived and the sub~ect in custody left the plane, he was
received by the Federal Public Ministry agent Torres Espinoza, and Comdr Manuel
Mendoza and several members of this �orce, who immediately went to the state peni-
tentiary to incarcerate Monge Cisneros, and the latter was placed at the disposal
of the second district judge there.
Monge Cisneros, who was the owner of a large marihuana plantation that was discovered
near San Felipe, Ba~a California, could not be captured on the occasion when his
accomplices were arrested and his plantation destroyed, because he was not there
at the time. For this reason, the warrant for his arrest was~issued in 1979, and
has now been implemented since he was located by the Federal Judicial Police.
Yesterday, he was ordered to be brought to the second district ~udge to make his
preliminary statement. In this case, he is being accused as one presumed guilty
of a crime against health; and, therefore, until the constitutional period for .
issuing the order for official ir~iprisonment, release or release on hail expires, he
will be confined in the La Mesa prison.
This drug trafficker, who has been described by the Federal Judicial Police chiefs
themselves as the "fat fish" in this business, was met last Tuesday at the airport
by the commander of that force himself, Manuel Mendoza, and Miguel Espinoza Martinez,
serving as the regional coordinator of the permanent campaign against drug traffick-
ing, as a replacement for Alfredo Aaron Juarez Jimenez, who is on a 2-week vacation.

~ REHABILITATION OF FORMER DRUG PRODUCERS DESCRIBED
Mexicali LA VOZ DE LA FRONTERA in Spanish 27 Aug 81 pp 2, 10
[Text] Culiacan, Sinaloa, 26 Aug --Poverty, promiscuity and illiteracy, but mainly
- a strong desire for a"real economic advancement" have caused hundreds of farmers in
the state to become victims of drug traffickers. Over 1,000 hectares planted with
marihuana and poppies have been reintegrated for food production by the judicial
and state authorities.
The farmer Gustavo Zepeda Navarrete, one of those arre~�ted thus far this year for
engaging in the illegal activity, remarked: "The hunger and poverty in which I was
living caused me to fall into the clutches of the drug traffickers and to take care
of their marihuana plantations. There are 14 of us in the family, and I could
hardly feed them with an average of 50 pesos per day."
The tiller of the soil continued: "At a time of desperation, I decided to plant
marihuana and poppies, but it was all due to my precarious situation; because the
drug traffickers almost tripled my wages which I had earned when I was working
- honestly on my small plot of land."
Zepeda Navarrete, who has 10 children, claimed: "I am well aware that drugs are bad,
but because of my lack of education I did not know the extent to which they could
damage health. I am repentant, and I hope to work honestly from now on."
In this connection, the coordinator of the campaiga against drug trafficking in
Zone 06, which includes the states of Durango, Chihuahua, Sinaloa and part of Nayarit,
Hector Aviles Castillo, commented that, by means of an extensive study and research,
there has been success in rehabilitating the farmers who were victims of the public
poisoners, and in providing the former with the means necessary for becoming rein-
corporated into the state's productive activity.
He disclosed that, during recent months, there has been a successful recovery of
over 1,000 hectares, which are again being used for food production.
- He remarked: "Most of the farmers who were arrested for engaging in the injurious
activity have been released, when it was proven that they were the victi:~s of their
own ignorance and of the lack of scruples of native and foreign drug traffickers."
Aviles Castillo aslo announced that, this morning, eight marihuana and poppy planta-
tions located in the southern part of the state were fumigated and destroyed.

BRIEFS
ARMY ANTIDRUG ACTIVITY--Nogales, Sonora, 8 September--The commander of the local
military garrison, Gen Heriberto Bell Fernandez, announced that the Mexican Army
would continue its campaign against drug trafficking in the area under its ~uris-
diction on a permanent basis, and that it has sufficient capacity to intervene
directly if it should become necessary. He said that, at the instruction of the
Secretariat of National Defense, the "Condor" campaign is being conducted throughout
the country, so that the members of our armed institution may maintain a general
alert against these illegal activities constantly. In this effort, he noted, the
- Army is acting in coordination with the Office of the Attorney General of the
- Republic, through the Federal Judicial Police, detecting in a timely manner those
who are trafficking in all kinds of drugs, and proceeding in accordance with the
law. When asked about the current status of the border with regard to drug traffick-
ing, Bello Fernandez said that, to date, a relative calm has been noted in this ,
respect, owing to the intensive surveillance carried out by the federal authorities,
and that a significant resurgence of that activity is not anticipated. However,
he repeated that both the Army and the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic
are maintaining stringent control of the area, to prevent any possible outbreak of
large-scale drug trafficking which, if it should occur, would be detected and
curbed immediately. With regard to the activity of the Federal Judicial Police to
eradicate this type of crime in the border area, the garrison commander said that
it was highly satisfactory, and that they would continue to work in a coordinated
_ fashion, adopting along the way any measures that become necessary, depending on
the way in which the circumstances appear. [Text] [Hermoaillo EL IMPARCIAL in

especially marihuana, which are carried to this border in order to take them to the
American drug market. The surveillance was carried out on the Nogales-Ben~amin Hill
section of the international highway, stopping and carefully aearching vehicles
_ whose drivers had suspicious behavior, or those who were already on record ory?ere
known in the illegal traffic by the Federal Judicial Police, according to Commander

lic, Oscar Flores Sanchez, both the "mobile units" on the highway and the vigilance

that he has issued instructions for the latter to act at all times within the law,
showing respect and courtesy to persons dissociated from the drug traffic. However,
he said that those who feel that their interests have been damaged should submit
- the pertinent complaint, with the assurance that the proper investigation will be
made and those responsible will be punished. [Text] [Hermosillo EL IMPARCIAL in

COCAINE TRAFFICKER CAUGHT--Mexico City, 2 September (OEM)--A woman who attempted
to bring a kilogram of cocaine into Mexico was arrested yesterday by the Federal
Judicial Police at the capital's international airport. Evelyn Celia Antoncen, a
Mexican, was supposed to meet her contact at the airport. However, this did not
occur, and she was discovered by the inspector a few moments after having left the
ladies' room. Evelyn's conduct aroused the suspicion of the Mexican authorities,
- especially after the trafficker showed aggressiveness toward those who requested a
routine search of her in the inspection line. She had the drugs attached to her
body, and was supposed to turn them over, in the ladies' room, to her contact,
Alicia Bueno Cruz, of Ecuadorean nationality. [Text] [Culiacan EL SOL DE SINALOA

are incarcerated for federal crimes to secure their release as soon as possible.
- The foregoing announcement was made by Agustin Jaime Lopez, director of government
of Sinaloa, who said that, during his stay, Flore$ Reyes would take charge of .
reviewing each of the records and the conduct of the individuals confined in the. ,
State Social Rehabilitation Institute (IRSS) and in the Mazatlan and Los Mochis �
jails, so as to enable them to become reincorporated into society. He noted that,
based upon the service policy available to the official of the Secretariat of
Government, he will analyze an average of 100 cases, chiefly of those imprisoned.
for crimes against health, as well as 50 for the town of Los Mochis and a similar
number for this town, in accordance with the law on minimal standards. Agustin
Jaime remarked that, apart from the fact that the government, through this type
of action, is seeking to rehabilitate those who have committed a crime and who
must pay society for it, it is of interest that, based on the policy of Governor
Toledo Corro, the alliance for ,justice that will make it possible to aid and
relieve the Sinaloa prison population is to be applied. It was reported that
Flores Reyes himself recently released over 100 inmates who were in the Social
Rehabilitation Institute in Sinaloa for the same reasons. [Text] [Culiacan EL

that sufficient equipment will have to be received to fly over the entire area,
. with helicopters and small planes, to detect clandestine airstrips,paths and routes
used by smugglers and drug traffickers to carry out their illegal activities both
from within the country to the border and vice versa. He said that Zone 2 will
have to implement the pilot plan according to instructions and as it is being
carried out on the national level. He also announced that there would be close
surveil.lance in educational centers, from the secondary to other levels, as well
as in certain work areas, to prevent the distribution of marihuana and other drugs
and psychotropic substances. He noted that a work plan has been organized, which
will be executed most forcefully, just now at the beginning of the return to school
of all the students in secondary and preparatory courses, and those pursuing different
university studies. There have been reports of something of this nature taking
place in certain educational institutions, and all possible means will have to be
used to put an end to the trafficking, distribution and use of drugs in such insti-
tutions. [Text] [Piedras Negras EL DIARIO DE PIEDRAS NEGRAS in Spanish 8 Sep 81 Sec

CUSTOMS OFFICIALS ACCUSED--Mexico City, 27 August (INFORMEX)--"The war of vested
interests and the proliferati~n of 'guarurismo' have brought about genuine chaos
among the personnel of the customs service at this city's international sirport."
This announcement was made today by a high-ranking official who stressed that, to
date, 70 tons of banned goods have been inspected, including television sets,
stereos, radios, tape recorders, lux:ry items and even oil paintings; but he explain-
ed that this action was taken by the General Customs Department and not the police,
who refuse to lose their "privileges." He said that while large amounts of contra-
band are arriving in the Federal District from the border in trailer trucks and
by rail, the customs agents are concerned with searching even the pockets of children
from which their toys are often taken. The result of the foregoing is disorder in
the inspection rooms, and it has caused a period of terror among both native and
foreign tourists arriving in our city. He noted that travelers coming from Central
and South America are really "held up" in an arbitrary manner by the narcotics
_ police inspectors, who have no respect for age, sex or human condition, "because
they see all of them as drug traffickers." He reported that the government revenue
collected for the payment of import duties on the various items amounts to 50
million pesos every 24 hours. [Text] [Mexicali LA VOZ DE LA FRONTERA in Spanish

SOCIAL PRCBLEMS UNDERLYING DRUG USE BROUGHT OUT
Kuwait AL-Tt~LI'AH in Arabic No 708 2 Sep 81 p 52
LArticle by Mutlaq Sa'd Suwailam: "Save Our Young People from Ruin"7
LText] A frightening spread of hallucinogens and drugs of all types has been observed
recently among Kuwaiti youth circles. This gives rise to the following questions as
an attempt to find appropriate and speedy solutions to this grave manifestation. The
first question is: What are the causes and motivations lying behind the interest of
the young in this sort of drug addiction? The second is: Wheie can they obtain drugs?
I will try to set forth some points briefly to respond to each question, starting with
a response to the first one. .
A. With regard to the causes and motivations.
1. There are the complex social problems which face young people in Kuwait, including
family circumstances that go along with the ignorance of the parents on how to bring
up and guide their children and the neglected role of the school in understanding the
student's social problems and in guiding him properly. The student thereby lives in
a social limbo f rom which he tries to escape by taking drugs. More over there is the
decline in living conditions of sane families that forces some young people to leave
school early and to try to find a job to support the family; hawever, the student then
bumps into bitter reality which is reflected in his personal behavior when he tries to
get even with this society that is treating him in such a way and he ventures on
taking drugs to forget his painful reality. ~
2. The lack of supervision. We all know that the student can spend half his day in
school; however, he is at a loss where to spend the other half. There are no places
available for the young people to spend their free time other than sitting in the streets
or driving around in their cars from one area to another. This is during the school
year. After it is over, the unhappy situation is even worse as there is no schoo].
taking up half the time so the whole day is free time and there is no place where the
young people can develop their ability and talents and overcome the long period of free
- time. At this point s mne people might go so far as to say that there are summer clubs
and athletic clubs where the student can spend his free time. To respond to this, with
regard to the f ormer, we all know the quality of the programs presented at the summer
clubs and the bad treatment a young person gets at a summer club, something which makes
him avoid qoing to it. With regard to the latter, the athletic clubs have been
infected by the illnesses of tribalism, factionalism and cliquishness and if you
aren't from the tribe, faction or clique of the club's board of directors, you don't
have a chance of paxticipating in any sport.

3. Neglect of the role of the information media in publicizing the harm and dangers
of drugs and also the falling short by the Ministry of Health and other official
quarters in searching f or proper treatment for the addict by which he would be subject
to psychological and physical examinations.
These are some of the causes which are conducive to the increase and intensity of the
problem. As for how to obtain hallucinogens and drugs, there are many ways, including:
1. The prevalence of the drug trade, particularly by sane foreign workers such as
Koreans and Thais and some illegal aliens in the country who consider dzugs a pro-
fitable business. The best example of that is found on the pages of the daily news-
papers.
2. Some addicts obtain drugs from the hospital of psychological medicine and sell
them to their associates outside the hospital at unbelievable prices.
3. There is the act of getting high by.sniffing glue which is done by those who do
not have the wherewithal to buy "the g ood stuff" because of its hiqh cost. Glue
sniffing can at times be seen in public in broad dajrlight near some cooperative societies.
4. Some young people studying abroad bring in drugs which they call "the good stuff"
from the United States, England and some European countries and try to awaken an interest
in young people here so that "they would be educated" like the American and European
young people, as it was put by one of the pushers. Worse yet i~ the fact that these
- Americanized young people who push drugs try to awaken a desire or even urge the young
people here, based on their "agricultural theory," to accept the idea that drugs,
particularly the best grades of marijuana, are suitable for cultivation in the soii
of Kuwait, as if the Kuwaiti soil were unsuitable for any type of agriculture other
than growing drugs, according to the theory of our P.mericanized�associate.
Finally, after having familiarized ourselves with the causes and with how to obtain
drugs, it is incumbent upon official circles to get involved to find proper, speedy
solutions to prevent this social illness that has begun to gain ground among youth
circles, threatening over the long term to destroy these vital young people.

/-Text 7 EigY~t persona, including a young woman of 19, an old man of 61, and
2 disabled persons, 226 Immenoctal tablets, 2!~ amphetamine tablets: this ie
the balance-sheet from the raid organized last week by INTERPOL in Bamalso
und~rworld circles. The results are certainly not very dazzling, but the
fact remains that they are thought-provoking, ~uet the same. Drug traffic
and consumption are assuming alarming proportions.
The attitude of the delinquents, nearly all repeaters, gives the impresaion
that these social outcasts think they are fully within their rights. Indeed,
devoid of anyi feeling of shame, remorse, or fear, they seem not to knox that
theirs is one of the most heinous of crimes, and they think that like any
other lucrative activity, this traffic is quite legal. It would seem that
these people are just pawns in a xell-organized network that has so far
had at its disposal an unbreachable cover.
Thus when questioned about the source of the products, the criminals give
only va~ue answers, which hardly gives the police the clues needed to trace
bacx to the top and consider breaking up the network in the near future.
"How, indeeri, can one fight thia scourge when sometimes 3 days after turnin~
- in the criminals, we encounter the same faees back in circulation, and they
seem not to have admitted their crime at all," pofnts out Inspector Diarra.
Severe penalties and heavy fines are the appropriate solutions in the suthori-
ties~ war on these criminals. Thus, with the monies collected as fines,
re-education centers could be built for the wretches, Inspector Diarra stated
finally.
Let us hope that there will be a reeponse to this appeal, and that these
measures, once taicen, Frill contribute to clear the public of thoughtless
' people and protect the naive ones.

HEi~LTH MINISTER ON DRUG PROBLEM
_ Vienna DIE PRESSE in German 28 Sep 81 p 10
/Article: "Steyrer: 'New Starter Drug Valium'--Drug Abuse Begins in the Classrocm"%
L'!'ext7 Feldkirch--The drug problem cannot be solved by using force and drastic
punishment. This was the m ain conclusion of a oonference attended, among others, by
Health Minister Kurt Steyrer. Steyrer indicated his satisfaction wer the fact that
the drug inquiry had been depoliticized. He was of the opinion that, apart from
alcohol, such tranquilizers as Valium, liberally prescribed for school children,
must be cornsidered as starter drugs leading to addiction.
Innsbruck's criminal court judge Christian Bertel voiced d~ubt about the usefulness
of jail sentences for addicts and also discussed the ccntraversial Methadone treatment.
Methadone as a heroin substitute, he said, should be used only on a strictly con-
trolled basis and in conjunction with many adjunct pro~edures.
Health minister Steyrer emphasized that the drug problem is deeply rooted in the
ethical and social domain and that neither the medical nor the legal profession could
deal with it alone. "After all, there are legal narcotics," he said, referring to the
200,000 alcoholic and the 600,000 near-alcoholic Austrians, as well as to the annual
death toll of 300 intoxicated drivers. According to Steyrer, the main task is not
the physical, but rather the social breaking of the habit, brought about by longterm
therapy. He indicated his strong oppositian to legalizing marijuana as a supposedly
harmless drug. Steyrer stated that "despite Salcher's red pencil," the 24 million
schillings budgeted for fighting drug abuse would not be cut. Vorarlberg, the only
Austrian province which so far has its own drug program, will shortly start construction
of a 10 million schilling drug center.
In clasing, the health minister anna~nced the forthcoming promulgation of laws for
regulating medications and pharmacists. These two legal measu res should, among
other things, serve to control drug abuse.

hauls all the time," says the head of the police narcotics section, Paul Gauguin.
But the miserable situation simply continues to exist.
Today Denmark has 10,000 drug addicts dependent on hard drugs. It takes 600
- Finnish marks a day for each one to buy drugs. Most of the money comes from rob-
beries and prostitution. Overdoses have taken the lives of 165 people this year.
No one can say how many have died as a result of illnesses stemming from lack of
hygiene while shooting up or how many have committed suicide.
Enormous Problem
Drugs continue to be an enormous problem. Those affected are typically young
people between the ages of 17 and 23. As a rule they start out by "ju'st trying it
once" and hashish is what they try. But they quickly go over to dangerous hard
drugs, cocaine and heroin being the most commonly available in Denmark today.
Social workers and doctors once considered decriminalizing hashish to provide
drug addicts with an opportunity to use something that is related to the narcotics
sector but is not dangerous. But no one believes in that course today. All ex-
perience shows that hashish is a beginning. Almost 100 percent of those handled
at the many treatment centers say they started out with hashish.
The police have 65 men in the narcotics division. They work around the clock in
an effort to catch dealers. They make raids in parts of the city where drugs are
a big problem, in bars where drugs are sold and in Christiania.
Four Boats
Denmark also has a national anti-narcotics society. Members are young people
with experience in the drug enviranment, some of them former addicts. Parents of.

addicts can also join along with idealists who hope to be able to make a contri-
bution. Just now the society has acquired enough money to buy four old boats
where 30 young people live. The boats are anchored in the harbor areas. The
crews put on plays and talk with other youhg people.
The money to equip the four boats came from voluntary donations, from funds and
a very small part came from public authorities. The goal is to travel around the
country each summer. In winter the activities will consist of outreach work in
big cities and offering courses, a kind of folk high school dealing with drug
problems. Applications for funds have been made to the Ministry of Social A~fairs
and the Ministry of Education. Both ministers have made positive statements but
have not yet made a final decision. Much of the money comes from the efforts of
society members themselves. For example the members repair and paint the boats
voluntarily and without being paid.
Cultivation in Denmark
"We are also fighting the cultivation of hashish in Denmark. Recently Danish
hashish has turned out to contain as many dangerous substances as the imported
variety. In England sentences of up to 15 months have been handed down for the
_ importation of Danish-grown products," said a member of the national society.
Danish Justice Minister Ole Espersen has ordered a study to find out if hash crops
are really being raised commercially in Denmark. If so the practice will be pro-
hibited, the minister said. No steps could really be taken against cultivation
for personal use, he added.
Generally speaking the principle is the same as the one used in police hauls--
those caught with narcotics for their own use are usually let off with a warning.
But if drugs are found in amounts clearly intended for resale they go to court.
The law provides for LO years in jail for large dealers but in practice sentences
in Denmark tend to be for no more than 6 years.
Entry Port to Nordic Region
Incidentally this has been criticized by all the other Nordic lands. Copenhagen
is the entrance to the rest of the Nordic market--what the Danish authorities do
is thus of great importance to the entire Nordic region. But 6 years is regarded
- as a very stiff sentence in Denmark.
Most of the goods come from Turkey and Thailand and are smuggled further by land--
in cars--or by plane. Amsterdam and Copenhagen are the big European distribution
centers with Copenhagen serving the Nordic region while Amsterdam takes care of
- central Europe and England.
_ "The narcotics market is terribly tempting," says Police Itrspector Gauguin. "The
money is earnecl ao easily."

Easy Money
He mentioned a typical case: five nice boys and girls from Copenhagen and a
couple of other big cities. They talked over the best way of quickly getting the
money to buy cars and motorcycles they wanted. None had ever been in trouble
with the police--and none had ever had anything to do with narcotics. But some- ~
one had said that was a good way to earn money fast.
This turned out to be quite correct. They invested a total of 12,000 marks, a
quarter of it going to tickets to Bangkok, the rest for buying the goods. A month
later it was all sold and the five were 300,000 marks richer. A return of 2400
percent in just 30 days! That was too tempting to stop, as they had originally
planned to do after the first trip. But the second trip brought them int6- the
hands of the police. ~

Police Powerless
"We are powerless," says Gauguin. "Many young people start while they are still
in school. Hashish 'just for the fun of it.' This keeps them up late--that is
the effect hashish has--so they are sleepy the next day.. Take more to wake up--
and become even sleepier the day after. Now they have entered the vicious circle.
It doesn't take Long before they try stronger things--and then as a rule it is
' too late to back out."
"That is our message," says 24-year-old Kjeld Pries, spokesman for the national
society and a member of the crew of one of the sailing warning centers. "Say no
the first time--it's easy then. It gets harder for each time one tries it. Drugs
are hell," says Pries. "If only people understood that."
