The State Security Court sentenced a man to death on 7 June 2026 for the killing of three anti-narcotics officers. The court convicted him on five felony counts, including three counts of assaulting officers enforcing the narcotics law that resulted in death, and ordered the confiscation of all seized items. The ruling rested on article 12 of the 2016 narcotics law, which makes an assault on enforcement officials causing death a capital offence.[1]
