The organization of the mobile court trial at the No. 1 Compulsory Drug Rehabilitation Center in Nghe An province attracted the attention of the trainees. Through the questioning, indictment, and argumentation process at the trial, the Judging Panel and the Prosecutor proactively disseminated the provisions of criminal law, the law on drug prevention and control, and the harmful effects and consequences of drug use.
This helps trainees at the drug rehabilitation center better understand the state management of addictive substances, the causes and methods of drug-related crimes; enhances their awareness of law compliance, and encourages them to actively fight against crime in general and drug-related crimes in particular.
