Canadá: Fundadores del «club de compasión» de drogas en Columbia Británica presentan un recurso en virtud de la Carta

Las personas fundadoras de DULF dicen que cerrar los clubes de compasión representa grandes riesgos para las personas que usan drogas al negarles acceso a un suministro seguro en medio de una catástrofe de muertes por drogas. Más información, en inglés, está disponible abajo.

Lawyers for the founders of Vancouver's Drug User Liberation Front (DULF) say their clients are being wrongfully criminalized for operating a club that provided untainted drugs to people who would otherwise be at the mercy of a toxic and deadly illicit drug supply.

Lawyers Tim Dickson and Stephanie Dickson outlined a constitutional challenge of Canada's Controlled Drugs and Substances Act on Tuesday, filed in B.C. Supreme Court on behalf of DULF co-founders Jeremy Kalicum and Eris Nyx.

The pair had operated a "compassion club" that sold heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine bought on the dark web and tested for contaminants.
