A senior prosecutor posted on a social platform that failure to effectively assist drug addicts in detoxification will lead to the spread of AIDS through shared needles, a waste of national resources, family disability, and damage to the rights of minor children.

He stressed that drug detoxification is essentially a professional issue in the medical and public health fields, rather than a purely legal issue, and cited a 2015 study by the Judicial College of the Ministry of Justice which pointed out that an appropriate dose of methadone maintenance therapy can relieve cravings and withdrawal symptoms, restore cognitive function, reduce drug use and needle sharing, and prevent infectious diseases such as AIDS and hepatitis C.
