Syria's new government says the drug factories are gone

Six months after the fall of Bashar al-Assad, the interior minister, Anas Khattab, said every Captagon laboratory in the country had been dismantled. In the weeks after the collapse the security forces had destroyed about 100 million pills and about 15 tonnes of hashish. He named treatment and rehabilitation of addicts as the next priority.[1]
