How drug demand in New Zealand and Australia is driving calls for the death penalty in Fiji

Fiji is seeing a surge in calls for the death penalty for drug offenses, driven by harsh prison sentences that often exceed those for more serious crimes like rape and murder. This is largely influenced by the drug demand from New Zealand and Australia, leading to stricter local laws. While Australia and New Zealand have more lenient penalties, Fiji's stringent approach has raised questions about its effectiveness and human rights implications. The debate highlights broader issues about drug policy and its global impacts.
