Narcopolizes

The long -awaited information appeared that Margarita Charykov could be transferred from a pre -trial detention center to a normal hospital, leaving there under guard. This story hit many, and I stumbled upon a variety of calls to help that who had worn out in a downside. Among other things, there was something like: "Let's save a girl who did not commit crimes." Here you need to clearly set up all points over the "yo". Margarita found some grams of some prohibited substance there. By Russian standards, the crime - be it at least storage - she still committed. But for me personally, this is only a reason to act in her support even more fiercely.

Anyone who refuses to consider Charykova’s case in a drug policy context is blind like a mole, he should give a kick to reach the charing itself. For it doesn’t matter at all whether Charkov made a crime sane or not. This so -called crime itself should not be a reason for imprisonment.

Charykova suffers from a rare ailment, and this attracted attention to her specific case. Perhaps, thanks to public support and noise in networks and in the media, its fate can be facilitated. But still there will be a court, and it may well be sentenced to a long term. And this will be a sentence for drug use.

The pursuit of drug users is nonsense from the point of view of modern drug policy. The concept of "social pressure", which is loved by us to refer to drug ranges from Evgeny Roizman to Evgeny Brun, in practice does not lead to a decrease in demand for prohibited psychoactive substances, but only reduces the level of health of drug users, and thereby the whole society. It is the repressive drug policy in our country that we owe the record increase in the spread of HIV, hepatitis C, tuberculosis, and in addition, it is also a completely deadly combination of this trinity (the so -called turbovich, etc.).

Public drug -foster, which is created from above and supported from below, leads to the fact that the very concept of "drug addict" or "drug user" becomes synonymous with the words "monster", "animal", "monster". What are the human rights to the monster? Yes, no. Death to him! Result: the next "addict" and "huckster", namely Margarita Charkov, is on the bunks without the necessary medical care.

But what question do we hear? The same as in the case of Taisia ​​Osipova: "What if she really traded?" My answer is in the face of all the drug and food: even if she had traded, this is not a reason to torture and humiliate it. Even if Taisiya Osipova really belonged to the number of synthetic opiates (trimethylpentanila) that it remained in one episode of her case, after the accusation was forced to delete three (!) Others, from the point of view of the current trend of world drug policy and simply, according to the logic of things, this required it as a petty dealer, taking into account the mitigating circumstances (health status, the presence of a child), quite quite Could ensure conditional punishment. Instead, the court soldered her a monstrous "eight".

And how much threatens Margarita Charykova now? They are unlikely to let her go home. As in the Osipova case, the infamous 30th article - on preparation for a crime, for a large -scale drug sales (which we start with 1 gram) appears here. Meanwhile, it has been scientifically proven - alas, in Europe and the USA, not in Russia - that the persecution of so -called small dealers is just as pointless from the point of view of the fight against wholesale drug trafficking, as well as mass landing in the bars of simple street handakers. At least you will forget all the prisons - if heroin traffic to the country is provided by large cones from the "Nationalities" that no one will ever touch, then the situation will not change. Although we have become less sticking, but this is not the result of the repressions of the FSKN - the trend for lowering the injection use of illegal opiates was marked by specialists as far as 1997!

And such as Charkov, tens of thousands. At the beginning of this year, according to the FSKN, in the conclusion according to the 228th article there are 147 thousand people. How many of them are drug lords, and how many ordinary drug users from which they made "drug lords" through simple cradles? As in the Charykova case, when a mixture of piracetam with amphetamine weighing 20.47 grams is estimated as pure amphetamine. The investigator will divorce with his hands: and all according to the law! Indeed, in relation to prohibited substances from the so -called first list , if the substance is found in the mixture, significant, large or especially large amounts are calculated on the basis of the total weight of the mixture. And it was the same in the case of Konyshev . Have you forgotten about him? Ah, you did not know. Meanwhile, this one is legal, notice! - The part allows, if desired, to blackmail the detainees according to the principle of "right now, we will pour into your half a gragram a kilogram of gravel - and there will be a particularly large size!". Do you think they don’t do it? Do. And so they do good statistics of disclosure.

So, ladies and gentlemen, Charrykova’s case is a fateful thing, and when this young girl suffers, know that the unrevted number of living people in our fairy -tale country suffers with her by the will of the Federal Drug Control Service and others like her. Demanding a change in the preventive measure to Margarita Charykova, demanding that her illness are introduced into a special register, when patients cannot be deprived of freedom without a special medical service, demanding, in the end, a fair and humane court for her, we should not forget about Taisia ​​Osipova, who sits with his diabetes in the colony, which sits with his HIV-Status in colonies, and about other people who often remain nameless. Return the names, hope and freedom to them.

Narcene is not a crime. That is why we demand reforms of all Russian drug policy, abandoning the meaningless "anti-drug struggle" in favor of a reasonable, scientifically based socio-psychological approach. Then things like Margarita Charykova will simply not arise.
