“In addition to direct assistance to citizens who are in a difficult situation, the goal of the hotline is the development of public control over the work of law enforcement agencies,” said the press service of the EP.

The hotline will run until May 31, 2020.

“After the Golunov case, we analyzed the anti-drug legislation. The expert community converges in the position that Art. 228 of the Criminal Code of Russia - tough, but verified. Innocent citizens, as well as drug addicts, who need not a prison, but real help, become hostages of the situation. We launched this hotline precisely in order to track such incidents and help citizens who are in a difficult life situation, ”said RT member OP Sultan Khamzayev.

You can report any problems with the enforcement of an anti-drug article by calling 8 (800) 737-77-66, as well as using the electronic form on the Chamber’s website.
