Letter to Ambassador of the Russian Federation in Canada re: Commemorating the Russian victims of the War on Drugs

« We urge the Russian government to abolish the criminal ban on methadone, to support rather than repress harm reduction programs and workers, and to reform its drug laws so as to place health concerns, not further pointless and harsh criminalization and punishment, at the centre of Russia’s response to drugs and the related harms they are causing to too many of your people. »
