Indonesia to take new approach to dealing with drug users
www.abc.net.au
Under proposed law changes, drug users in Indonesia could be sent to rehabilitation centres instead of prison. But legal experts say the change will simply shift a problem.

In short:

Indonesia’s government has signalled a shift in its approach to some drug laws, in part to address overcrowding in jails.

A senior minister told reporters that drug users would be sent to rehabilitation instead of prison.

What’s next?

Legal experts warn the move will just relocate drug users from prisons to rehab facilities.
