Drug users and human rights. The situation in the EECA region

The policy environment in EECA is dominated by punitive drug laws. People who live with drug dependence are exposed to discrimination based on their chronic health condition, arbitrary arrest, and ill-treatment by the police.

According to the statistics, collected through REAct tool, every third drug user arrested is subjected to torture or other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment during arrest or detention.
