Northern Cyprus’s top court explains individual drug sentencing

The Supreme Court examined how the drug, quantity, role of the defendant and circumstances should guide a sentence for possession. Its judgment distinguished the local statutory maxima from the English sentencing guidance it considered. The existing criminal offences and maximum penalties remained in place.[1]
