Namibia proposes 20 to 40 years for drug offences

Parliamentary debate on the Combating of the Abuse of Drugs Bill proposed exceptionally severe penalties. Contemporary reporting described parliamentary adoption, but this review did not establish assent or commencement. The proposal must not be substituted for the operative 1971 Act’s penalty provisions.[1][2]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Namibia here.
