Indonesian parliament adopts strict anti-drug law.
On 14 September 2009, after four years of deliberations, the Indonesian House of Representatives passed the anti-narcotics bill into law. The House says that the law is designed to curb drug trafficking and to save youth from drug use. Critics say the law criminalizes drug users and will have a negative impact on their health.
