COTABATO ADDICT REHABILITATION CENTER URGED
Rangoon THE WORKING PEOPLE'S DAILY in English 18 Oct 81 p 7
~Text~ Cotabato City--The establishment of a rehabilitation center in this city
for drug addicts is being pressed by several concerned citizens here.
"Definitely, the ~ail is not the right place for those arrested for violations
- of the anti-drug abuse law, Sgt. Manual Fernandez, city jail ward~n, said.
"For a fact, they should be regarded not as criminals but as victims of persons
who, for selfish ends, take advantage of the youths' curiosity," cited another
police officer.
"We are not helping these youths if we put~them side by side with the common
criminals. The most we can do is find a respectable place where they can be
treated and rehabilitated dec~ntly until thac: c~nter is realized," commented
another government doctor.
"We become too overjoyed with our acco~mplishments against drug abuse by arresting
so inany youths suspected of conducting pot sessions, taking dangerous drugs and
the like when we cannot even give them a proper shelter like the DARE in Tagaytay
City nor provide them with man's basic necessity--food," said another concerned
citizen.
These varied reactions followed the arrest of fifteen youth.s, most of them high
- school students with ages ranging from 16 to 21, suspected of taking marijuana
and using dangerous drugs. They were arr.ested by the Constabulary Anti-Narcotics
Unit (CANU) in separate occasions and places during the week..

[Article: "Marihuana Crops in West Java; Unwitting Farmers Are Ordered to Plant
Them" ]
[Excerpts] Police of the District Command VIII/Langlangbuana, West Java, called
attention t~o the continuing marihuana traffic in the West Java region, particularly
in Bandung. This was supported by the evidence of thousands of marihuana plants
found in the Gsrut and Majalengka areas by local poZice at the end of last week.
On Tuesday [11 August) in Bandung, Lt Col (Police} brs Soeward~ono, chief of the
Information Service of the Langlangbuana Police Command, noted to KOMPAS that a
number of persons who planted the banned crop told police that certain individuals
had ordered them to plant the marihuana and those involved had off ered them the
seeds. Same who planted the seeds did not know what they were planting.
Generally marihuana gardens are found in remote villages, on the mcintain slopes
where few people live. Marihuana is planted along with other crops, for instance,
with "lcatuncar" (cori~nder), which looks like marihuana plants, Soeward~ono
remarked.
lia said efforts continue to eradicate the banned crops from the West Java region.
At the end of last weelc Sector Command police of the Maja Subdistrict, Ma~alengk,:
regency, confiscated thousands of marihuana plants averaging 1 me~er in height.
't'he planter, AJ (41 years old), a resident of the Pasanggrahan Village, Ma~a
Subdistrict, was arrested by the responsible authorities and made to account for
ilis activities.
l~ccordinY to preliminary estimates, marihuana plants confiscated from AJ were
valued at tens of millions of rupiah. Therefore, the police judged AJ obtained
capital from someone outside the area to plant the crop. A siunilar judgment was
made in the case of the illegal marih~iana crop which was.destroyed by the local
police same time ago.
Drs Soewardj~no said plantings were also discovered some time ago in the :iouth
Cianjur area, South Bandung, Garut, and in Kuningan. In general outsiders ordered
and paid the local people to plant *~?e marihuana.

DRUG INVOLVEMENT DECLINING--As of the end of 1980 about 10,000 persons ~n Indonesia
~.~ere recorded as having been involved with drug abuse. The total is dropping due
to government security activities concerned with these dangerous drugs. Police
Maj Sriyono, from Regional Command 096/Yogyakarta, addressed this matter in providing
information on narcotics and dangerous drugs Thursday afternoon [20 August] to
72 provincial druggists in the special region of Yogyakarta. The victims of drug
abuse generally are young people, adol=scents, and children who are in good physical
condition but who are psychologically unstable for some reason or because of
numerous disappointments. Maj Sriyono pre:+ented data for the Yogyakarta Special
Region for 1979-80 which showed three persons, narcotics dealers, we~e involved.
I.n the following year, ttiere were 11 drug abuse cases and one person dealt in
drugs. In 1981-82 there are thus far six drug abuse cases and ~hree sought profit
from narcotics~ From 1979 through June 1981, 24 persons were tried for narcotics,
seven were motivated to seek prof it from drugs while the amount o~ evidence
seized totaled 338 envelops and 2 kilograms of dr}~ marihuana, 1,8 kilograms of
procssed opium, and a marihuana cigarette. At the end of hi.s lecture Ma; 5riyono
proposed that heavier sentences be levied on those guilty of criminal activities
connected with narcotics. [Excer.pts] [Jakarta PEL~TA in Indonesian 22 Aug 81

~AIL FOR LSD TRAFFICKER--A Toronto man who admitted being part of a conspiracy to
traffic in LSD was sentenced Monday to two years less a day in reformatory. Daniel
McKee, 29, was arrested near London last April 13 after RCMP officers, who were
watching other suspects, saw him make contact and apparently buy the drugs. Court
was told the tipoff on a drug deal came from telephone wiretaps. When McKee was
stopped, officers found a package containing 1,600 "hits" of LSD under the dash-
board of his car. Court was told McKee's criminal record, which dates back 10
years, included several previous drug-related convictions. Three other men, all
facing charges arising out of the same investigation, are scheduled for a prelim-
inary hearing in February. [TextJ [Windsor THE WINDSOR STAR in English 20 Oct 81

DRUGS IN AIR CARGO--The cargo department at Grantley Adams airport is exper-
i~nc.ing more prohlems with drug trafficking now than the Customs Department,
a Customs official has said. The official said that since the methods of drug
detection at the airport had been improved and officers were exercising rigid
security measures, that drug smuggling was being conducted more often through
the cargo dep�artment. In the past, people smuggling drugs usually brought
them in on their person, or as part of their luggage. Drugs sent to the car--
go section can be concealed in paints and other items and are therefore not
as easily detectable. The official said that flights from areas known to
have big trades in drug trafficking are scrutinised very thoroughly. [Text]

FR:i~;u,i1.~t TO A'TTACK RISING DRUG USE AMONG SCHOOL CHILDREN
Government Plans
I~amilton THE ROYAL GAZETTE in English 25 Sep 81 pp 1, 2
- [7'eVt] New measures to combat drug abuse among schoolchildren were announced
bv Dr the Hon. Clarence James, Minister ~~f Health and Social Services.
Following up recomme.ndations made by the Advisory Board on the.Misuse of Drugs
a year ago, Dr James said that a consultant would be appointed next month to
help develop a programme tailor-made for Bermuda schools.
He ~il.so said that the methadone clinic for heroin addicts would remain at St.
Brenda~t's Hospital, despite the Board's proposal that it should be relocated.
Dr ._lames Pron~ised that the c.linic would be "strengthened" and hoped that it
- would soon bp able to take new admissions.
'I'hc_ new $100,000 moves were annoux~ced at a gress conference only hours after
tl~c Commissioner of Police, Mr Frederick Bean said that some schoolgirls have
!~ecor.lc~ prostitutes to raise money for 3rugs. (See separate story) They also
+-~~11 ow Dr James' admission last week that methadone progra~ne had "failed
~~ver the last year," has stopped taking new patients since July and is now
only treating four addicts.
Dr James was joined at the conference by the Hon. Ernest Vesey Minister of
i;ciucation and ttie Minister's Permanent Secretary Mr Mansfield Brock. They
c~laimed they had not heard the Commissioner's statement and that their under-
sranding from him was that drug ahuse in scho~ls was a small but serious
p rot; ; em .
;~:iid rir Vesey: "Any drug ahuse is serious. But I think it tends to happen
~~ut , i dc~ scl~ool hours and at weekend rather than in the school itself Mr
- 13rock added that th~ Mini.stry did not know which schools were hit by the drug
~,rr~hlem.
I~r J;imes, outli.ni.ng tl~e new ~chool-based drug prevention programme, said pro-
~,c~s~~l;; had resulted from d.iscussions hetween both the Education and Health and

would be artificial, uneconomic and potentially counter-productive to develop
programmes sol.ely for those involved witl~ drugs. Instead it was suggested
that it would be more appropriate to develop an additional programme for young
- people with behavioural problems as par.t of the ~~hnols' family life and hezlth
education programme which already in~lu:':es a section on drugs ~~id drug abuse.
Further counselling should be an e:~tension and under the supervision of the
home visiting service which is ttie responsibility of the school ps}~c}iologist."
The new consultant's post is now heins; ~;~~vertised and sl~ould be filled by mid-
October. Ttie successful applicant wi]_~ be expected to heln tlie two Ministries
develop Proposals, and inform teachers, home visitors and guidance counsellors
about the signs and symptoms of drug abuse.
"In-service trainins will also be provided for teachers so they will be more
knowledgeable and better able to teach students about drugs and drug abuse,"
Dr .lames went on. He said that Government had decided to stress prevention
for tt~e time being and he was not prepared to support the Advisory Boar.d's pro-
posals for a new commuriity-based drug treatment centre.
'1'he Board's suggestions for extra specialist staf.f, including a sessiona]. psy-
ctiiatri.st, three fulltime social workers and a fulltime secretary, tiad also
been turned down. Dr .Tames said: "Instead I will be recommending that the
metliadone clinic remain at St Brendan's but be strengthened so tliat tile present
' staffing difficulties are overcome. I liave asked the riedical llirector, Dr
Michael Radford, to recommend to me what improvements he considers are essen-
tial."

Education Department Probe
Hamilton THE ROYAL GAZETTE in English 26 Sep 81 p 1
[Text] The Education Department is to probe the Police Commiss3oner's
cl~_i.ms that nrostitut~on and drug taking has become rife in schools.
Poli.ce Chief Frederick Bean revealed on Thursday that children as young as
1.0 years old were using heroin and cocaine and qoung girls were selling sex
to enabie pimps to buy drugs.
Eiis statement took Government by surprise as it had received no reports on
the disturbing problem. But an Education spokeswoman said yester.3ay that
Police tlad now been contacted to obtain f urther details.
In the meantime Permanent Secretary, Mr Mansfield Brock has ordered an inquiry
to assess the extent of the illicit sex and drug-taking.
The spokeswonan said it was not known whether a formal report would be pre-
- pared. "At this stage I cannot say how the assessment is being carried out,"
she said. "We hope more details will be forthcoming from the Police."
Commissioner Be~n did not identify schools concerned, but said "usually reli-
able sources" had informed him that boys and girls aged 10 and 14 were using
hard drugs.
