Statistics put forth by the Supreme Judicial Council of Iraq show a spike in the number of defendants convicted of drug crimes in the first half of 2019. According to the Council’s bulletin, at least 6,842 convicts were jailed on charges involving drug abuse and dealership.

The report set Basra and Baghdad as the two top ranking cities in terms of drug crime.

These numbers are hardly surprising when compared to prevailing drug concerns in recent years, but they do indicate the country's desperate need for an effective action strategy to combat this scourge.
