The caravan of "white death" continues its locomotion being dangerous both for itself and society. The crippled fates of narcomessengers being so different at the same time have much in common. All traffickers are thirsty for quick and big money without thinking about the cost. They are only pawns and the money promised to them by heroin owners is a meager sum in comparison with the profits of narcobarons. This alphabet truth should be repeated anew each time to stop those who are ready to follow the road of "white death".
The results of operative-reconnoitering activities of Sughd viloyat IAMO (internal affairs managerial office) evidence to it. Only for September militia officers withdrew 44 kg of drugs; 754 kg 807 grams being exacted since the beginning of the year. 318 criminal cases are prosecuted.
"Narcomesengers have become apparently impudent", - tells militia colonel Abduhalim Abduhamidov, chief of the department of combat with illegal circulation of drugs under IAMO. They even don't hide narcotic stuffs putting them in bags, sacks, and packets. And one person decided to combine the useful with the pleasant. He went to have a rest with his family having a heavy criminal cargo - almost 25 kg of heroin".
Dushanbe resident Ulughbek H., aged 31, tried to convey a big batch of drugs in two sporting bags crossing SAI post of Aini district by "Landcruiser" jeep.
"I work nowhere over the latest time, but I must have some wherewithals. No job, even if it is available, provides proper money. Look around: needs and availabilities are incompatible", - a detained sturdy fellow gave reasonings explaining his choice.
It is not difficult whom he implied! Probably he meant those who had given him a car on a lease, who supplied him with narcotic stuffs and ordered to hand them over to their accomplices in Khujand. Of course, he thought also about those who took their families to sea rest without working anywhere!
"Yes, it is cynical, but honest", - somebody will object. May be! But one thing is true - if people who turned drugs into their profession didn't enjoy maintenance of supported and "covering" assistants and protectors but were disposed and cast out it would be far more just.
"They must go like greased lightning", - an elderly witness invited as a witness to Ulughbek. H's detention seemed to have read what I had on my mind. He told that his relatives who came to our viloyat for a rest were unaware of "the delayed-action bomb" stuffed with heroin. Law enforcement bodies are bound to elicit the links and contacts of the narcogroup whose origin is traced back to neighboring Afghanistan. The investigation supposes this drive not to be the first one on the part of the detained. Beforehand he had been luckier. Exorbitant money got him burning hot justifying the hazard.
Though Ulughbek was aware of criminal amenability, which may be assessed in 15 years imprisonment he conscientiously embarked on the way of heroin transportation; a healthy and sound part of society should be alarmed with such facts. It is common knowledge that not infrequently people follow this road because of penury, when there is no other way out for the family. But when educated people being knowledgeable for the harm they inflict upon the society and for their own destiny in case of "failure" do this step being conscious of the aftereffects this symptom is extremely disturbing.
Nasim M., resident of Khujand, was detained directly at "Gulbahor" bus station. Under perquisition operative officers discovered 5 kg 354 grams of heroin. One can suppose his being a link in a narcochain and the scheme "where from - whom - where" should be traced back to detectives.
"The detained was at a loss though he didn't seem to be a neophyte in this matter, but he didn't expert such turn of events, and when official witnesses came up he understood it was a failure" - told an operative officer who took part in the detention. Nasim worked nowhere feeling no need in it, from time to time he met a profitable cargo without thinking of the inevitable end of this enterprise. But the end came, his free life with the dearest and nearest finished too.
Forensic practice shows that those who find themselves behind the bar prefer to bear liability alone. Though the names of purveyors are mentioned in criminal cases they themselves remain beyond frames.
Akbar A. from Dushanbe, aged 35, was searching for a taxi at "Chumchuq-Aral" bus station for a trip up to the Uzbek frontier. "Gazel" driver was glad of having a client, but he didn't suspect about the contents of the passenger's luggage. Militia stopped the car. Almost two kilograms of heroin were pulled out. The driver had heard about such things from his colleagues, and now he himself got into such a mess.
"I had a shock", - Marufjon confessed. - How can such passengers be described, how can one protect yourself from danger?" These questions are quite reasonable.
Ravshan had been already convicted for drugs but having left the jail took to old things again. He was detained trying to convey 440 grams of heroin in an intra-cavity way. He suffered and risked greatly simultaneously. But he pursued this road in good faith having the goal to become rich.
"And he has a tape-recording studio, he sells discs", - his mother was weeping. - I got him married, he has a child. What is to be done now? Parents should know everything about their children, control them, - the wretched woman gives such an advice in conclusion. All of us should defer to it: one must love your own children, be aware of their affairs. May be, such tragedies will diminish in number then. Meanwhile, one should search for the way out in collaboration, we shan't overcome this affliction alone. Only acting together, uniting the endeavors of non-governmental organizations, authorities, family, school and public at large we shall be able somehow, at least, to oppose the endless caravan of "white death". But enforcement structures alone can't cope with teamsters and "unknown" caravan-bashis. How should we protect people who got under their sway?
