The
first
applicant
was
convicted
of
having
participated
in
an
organisation
aimed
at
committing
criminal
offences
,
and
of
having
been
a
co
-
perpetrator
of
the
offence
of
intentionally
being
in
the
possession
of
about
52
kilos
of
heroin
.
For
a
long
time
he
had
allowed
his
house
to
be
used
for
stashing
considerable
quantities
of
this
drug
,
suitable
for
further
distribution
.
This
was
undoubtedly
a
particularly
serious
offence
,
and
an
unconditional
term
of
four
years
’
imprisonment
was
imposed
.
As
the
Court
has
held
on
previous
occasions
,
it
understands
–
in
view
of
the
devastating
effects
drugs
have
on
people
’s
lives
–
why
the
authorities
show
great
firmness
to
those
who
actively
contribute
to
the
spread
of
this
scourge
