Benghazi buying hash

The football stadium of Kef — a town in the north-western mountains of Tunisia — has been given more attention in the last few months than at any time in its history. Up until January 29, the public facility had been neglected for years — never repainted, maintained or used for official sports competitions. Then, a group of guys were caught smoking hash in a small space beneath the commentator stand. It became front-page national news when three of them were given a year prison sentence. The week of the judgment, the spaces filled with mattresses and empty beer cans were quickly cleaned up and the entrances were closed off with newly built brick walls. On March 9, two of those sentenced — Salah and Faycel, aged 20 and 42 — were able to return home as their sentence was reduced to one year, which they had already served in pretrial detention. The third, year-old Sameh, faces another year in jail. This victory came after fierce campaigning by civil society groups, which continue to push for the legalisation of cannabis in Tunisia. Repressive drug laws carry a high cost for the country, both social and economic. The proportion in Kef prison is even higher — over half, according to Bargaoui — due to its location near the border with Algeria, where almost all of the hash smoked in Tunisia is smuggled from. Khalil Hmissi, 31, was arrested along with the three that day at the stadium, but was let out on bail after four months as he told the judge that he was at the stadium to play a football match and that the traces of cannabis in his system were due to having smoked a few days earlier. They close all doors for you, they give you nothing except when they come and take you to prison. Their words mirror those painted on banners and shouted at protests over the last few years, as a movement for the legalisation of cannabis has gained momentum in the country. By imprisoning them, you are hurting them more. When they come out what will they be able to do? Across the Mediterranean in France, arrests for drug use, mostly cannabis, have increased 6, per cent since the s. In the US, people of colour are disproportionately targeted by draconian minimum sentences for drug use — which has led to a situation where one in three Black men between the ages of 20 and 29 are currently either on probation, parole or in prison. In the UK, Black people are convicted of cannabis possession at almost 12 times the rate of white people. It also became a useful tool for Ben Ali to intimidate or eliminate his critics: after the revolution, dissidents reported hash being planted in their cars, offices and homes as a pretext for arrest. Makram Zaroui, a rapper who spoke out against the regime at a show in , is still serving out a year sentence for drug use and trafficking. This law is a tool used by the police to oppress youth. While Law 52 is no longer a tool of political oppression for the government, it is abused by the police, who have have been known to cut up small amounts of seized hash into smaller pieces to help build the argument that the person was dealing drugs, according to Bargaoui, who takes up cases across the country. Bassem Arfaoui, a year-old hairdresser and rapper from the Djebel Lahmar district of Tunis, talks about police oppression in his music. We meet Aymen, a year-old electrician, who was arrested for cannabis possession in The neighbourhood started off in the s as a collection of informally built houses on the outskirts of old Tunis. Later the Tunisian government started to tolerate and even rehabilitate the areas, but, between and , very little progress had been made on getting houses supplied with electricity, water and drainage. Today, young people from the area are stigmatised, a problem that is exacerbated by Law Since getting out of prison in , he gave up on school and has been refused work in a painting factory, a leather company, as a luggage worker in the airport and as a tailor. He was told he would be considered for a job in the state water purification agency if he paid a 17,dinar bribe. Working odd construction jobs, Aymen has saved up 2, dinars — enough to pay the fine — but he is putting it aside to pay for a boat ride across the Mediterranean to migrate to Italy. In an events hall in downtown Tunis on February 26, a group of activists, lawyers and politicians sat down to talk about the way forward. This idea has so far not gained much support in Tunisian parliament, though the doctor that persuaded Canadian parliament to legalise cannabis was Tunisian. As a knee-jerk reaction to the year sentence scandal, two proposals have been put forward by parties in parliament, but they are in no way radical. One idea is to soften the punishment and set up a three-strike system with progressively harsher fines. The other, which is more popular among activists, is to simply remove the prison sentence. Salah — the youngest of those recently allowed by the Kef court to go home — is feeling positive. It is possible to earn some money or favours in this way. As for the law, he is hopeful something will change. Why not serve it with coffee like in Canada? Dazed media sites. Politics Feature. Text Layli Foroudi. Politics Feature cannabis smoking.
