Myanmar does not hesitate – drugs destroyed: more than 400 million euros burn here

Date:

Authorities in Myanmar have publicly burned more than $446 million worth of seized drugs. For example, opium, heroin, marijuana, ketamine and crystal meth were destroyed

The military junta has ordered the destruction of more than 100 different types of narcotics, Myanmar’s Central Committee to Combat Drug Abuse (CCDAC) said Monday evening (local time). Cremation ceremonies took place in the largest city of Yangon (formerly Rangoon), as well as Mandalay and Taunggyi.

The illicit drug trade is booming in Southeast Asia. The United Nations warns of an increase in the production of opium, heroin and methamphetamine. The East Asian country is the second largest opium and heroin producer in the world after Afghanistan.
