Fiji is facing a national drug emergency driven by high demand in Australia and New Zealand.
Calls to reintroduce the death penalty for drug offenses are gaining traction amid record-breaking narcotics seizures.
Critics argue capital punishment ignores systemic issues like poverty, mental health, and the prevalence of small-scale cannabis usage.
Fiji is currently drafting a new Counter Narcotics Bill to overhaul its approach to drug control and law enforcement.
