Debate 🇹🇱 Timor-Leste

A Timor-Leste opinion column urges parliament to raise drug penalties

A Tatoli opinion column argued that Law 2/2017 had 'teeth but was hard to bite', saying its penalty framework was too weak against traffickers. It called on parliament to revise chapters II and III and to strengthen border policing and testing. The piece was a newspaper argument, not a government bill or a parliamentary vote, and no amendment followed.[1]
