Since 1999, the executions of drug smugglers have become more common in Indonesia, Iran, China and Pakistan. In March 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump proposed executing drug traffickers to fight his country’s opioid epidemic. 32 countries impose the death penalty for drug smuggling. Seven of these countries (China, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore) routinely execute drug offenders. Asia and the Middle East’s tough approach contrasts with many Western countries who have legalized cannabis in recent years (selling cannabis in Saudi Arabia is punished by beheading).

Maybe. It really depends on how long they were trafficking drugs, why they were trafficking drugs, and if they were forced.
@8PPLF2TNew Democratic4yrs4Y
no. stiff sentences though.. However if people have died due to their dealing actions.. if for instance they dealt dirty drugs, willfully.. that ought to be reflected in their sentence.
