The Supreme People's Court held a press conference on June 23 to release 10 typical cases of drug crimes. Li Ruiyi, the chief judge of the Fifth Criminal Court of the Supreme People's Court, introduced that although the typical cases released this time involve different types of drugs, behavior patterns, and criminal circumstances, the guidance is clear, that is, no matter what kind of drugs are used, no matter how hidden the means are, drug related crimes must be punished, drug punishment must be severe, and drug control must be effective. Typical cases demonstrate the consistent stance of severely punishing serious drug crimes. The criminal Wen Mouhong resisted law enforcement authorities and violently resisted drug enforcement arrests, committing extremely serious crimes and being a repeat offender with great personal danger. The people's court sentenced and executed Wen Mouhong in accordance with the law. Su, as the hospital director, took advantage of his position to sell large quantities of pethidine hydrochloride tablets for a long time to profit, allowing them to flow into the drug market. His subjective malice was deep, and the people's court sentenced Su to death with a two-year reprieve in accordance with the law. This time, 7 new drug cases were released, accounting for the highest proportion in previous years, aiming to raise public awareness of new drug prevention. The People's Court deemed Feng's repeated use of anesthesia drugs prescribed by his mother's illness to sell to multiple drug addicts as "serious circumstances" and sentenced him to four years and four months in prison according to law. At the same time, using cases to promote education, unveiling the disguise of new drugs, warning young people that "electronic cigarettes on the head" are drugs, whether they are cigarettes or not, the abuse of narcotic drugs is also drugs, and "smart drugs" can only be smart and be misled by "smart", and they should not try drugs with their own lives. Typical cases highlight the special judicial protection for minors. Chen Mouying used the underage Deng Mouchen to engage in drug trafficking and transportation, leading Deng Mouchen astray; Miao Moupo sold dexmedetomidine to more than ten minors; Liu Mouming and others lured minors to sell and tolerate multiple minors to use "top electronic cigarettes" containing etomidate. The people's court sentenced Chen Mouying to death according to law, and punished Miao Moupo, Liu Mouming and others severely according to law, demonstrating their firm determination to fully safeguard the healthy growth of minors. Comprehensive drug control is a clear and fundamental measure to eradicate drug crimes. In the typical case released this time, Ma Mouyu used his family's medical insurance card to fraudulently purchase a large amount of psychotropic drugs in different hospitals in a short period of time, reflecting the loopholes in verifying patient identity and standardizing clinical medication in some medical institutions, as well as the lack of data exchange between medical institutions. In response, the People's Court, together with the procuratorial organs, issued judicial suggestions and established an information sharing mechanism, which is conducive to the source control of such crimes.
