Law 8,072 applied special restrictions to illicit drug trafficking alongside heinous crimes, torture and terrorism. Its original Article 2 barred bail, provisional release, amnesty, grace and pardon, and required the whole sentence to be served in a closed regime. This concerned trafficking, not every drug offence or simple possession. The closed-regime provision was later held unconstitutional in HC 82,959 in February 2006.[1][2]
