nifer Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 3 Strike RAVE Offenders Face Life Without ParoleCivil liberties campaigners from the Drugs Policy Alliance (DPA) warned this weekthat US authorities plan to escalate the drug war to a new level of harshness undernew laws which could see clubbers being jailed forever."They want to expand the federal 'three strikes and you're out' law to include newoffences, including mandating life imprisonment (with no possibility of parole) foranyone convicted a third time under the RAVE Act," said DPA director Bill Piper thisweek."They want a mandatory 2-year prison term for anyone who knows someone is sellingmarijuana on a college campus and fails to report it to the police within 24 hours.They want a mandatory 5-year prison term for someone at a party who passes amarijuana joint to someone who has been enrolled in drug treatment at some point intheir life," he added.The new laws are to be introduced in Congressman Sensenbrenner's bill H.R. 1528,entitled 'Defending America's Most Vulnerable: Safe Access to Drug Treatment andChild Protection Act of 2005' which first appeared last year and could soon becomelaw."We need to keep the heat on members of Congress to kill this bill", Mr Piperstressed. "We're up against the most powerful forces in the federal government. Wehope you will continue to stand with us in this massive showdown."http://www.drugpolicy.org/news/051105sensenalert.cfm barraquilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
