Pregnant woman to be executed for Heroin posession

The real Human Rights violation is that the international community didn't do more for Rwanda during/after the 1994 genocide.

Now on that point I have to agree with you!

How will criminalising them save them from anything? How's a guy supposed to get a job with a criminal record for a victimless crime?

First of all, drug smuggling isn't a victimless crime. Every addict whose life is ruined by purchasing drugs is a victim in a sense.

Secondly, most people who are being ruined by serious drug addiction usually can't see a way out in the environment they're in, as the people and atmosphere surrounding them was ripe for the addiction to grow in the first place. Similar to in trainspotting where Ewan McGreggor locks himself in a room, sometimes the only answer is to be forced off the drugs and given a period of time with nothing but your own mind, from which you could become stronger mentally to combat the addiction once you're released into the real world.
