Registering a referral for drug treatment as a criminal precedent
No, referral for treatment is not recorded as a criminal precedent in the criminal record of anyone who applies on his own initiative (or through his family) seeking treatment.
Disclaimer: This is a legal article that provides information that does not replace consulting a competent lawyer to help you and for more accurate information.
This ruling is based on the following regulatory foundations:
Failure to file a criminal case:
Article 42 of the Anti-Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances Law explicitly states that “no lawsuit shall be filed” against an addict or user if he applies for treatment. Since a criminal case is not initiated at all, there is no trial and no judicial ruling is issued convicting; whereas registering a “criminal precedent” requires the issuance of a final, legitimate judicial ruling proving the conviction and meeting the conditions for registering precedents.
The principle of complete confidentiality:
The organizer surrounded these people with a strict guarantee to protect them and encourage them to recover. Article 51 of the system stipulates that the addict must be treated in complete confidentiality, and his identity and any information related to him must be kept secret. The regime even imposed a prison sentence or fine on any concerned person who discloses any of this information. Recording the incident in the criminal record is completely inconsistent with this principle.
