JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com — Selasa, 2 Juni 2009 | 18:13 WIB

Jumlah kasus kejahatan narkotika, psikotropika, dan bahan adiktif lainnya (narkoba) di Indonesia sejak 2004 sampai Maret 2009 yang tercatat di Mabes Polri menunjukkan angka yang sangat memprihatinkan.

Wakil Direktur IV Mabes Polri Ajun Komisaris Besar Arnowo menjelaskan, untuk kasus narkotika (ganja, heroin, kokain, dan sebagainya) tercatat berjumlah 45.451 kasus, psikotropika (ecstasy, sabu, daftar G) berjumlah 38.125 kasus, dan jenis baya (minuman keras, kosmetik, obat palsu, dan sejenisnya) berjumlah 17.440 kasus.

Sedangkan untuk tersangka narkotika yang tercatat berjumlah 66.541 tersangka, psikotropika 55.381 tersangka, dan baya 33.895 tersangka.

Kejaksaan Agung (Kejagung) menjadi sasaran kemarahan massa kemarin. Itu buntut penolakan izin perpanjangan penahanan jaksa Esther Tanak dan Dara Veranita. Ratusan orang dari empat organisasi antinarkoba berunjuk rasa di depan gerbang Kejagung, Jl Sultan Hasanuddin, Jakarta.

Mereka memprotes pembebasan dua jaksa yang tertangkap tangan menjual barang bukti (BB) narkoba dari tahanan Polda Metro Jaya. Mereka juga membawa berbagai poster dan atribut yang berisi kecaman terhadap korps adhyaksa tersebut.

''Kejagung harus melakukan pembersihan. Jika perlu, dengan tes urine atau darah secara berkala kepada aparat kejaksaan seluruh Indonesia. Sebab, kami mencurigai masih banyak yang terlibat atau menjadi pengguna narkoba,'' kata Ketua Presidium Nasional Satuan Tugas Antinarkoba (SAN) Anhar Nasution.

Anhar juga mendesak Kejagung segera mengeluarkan surat perpanjangan masa penahanan yang diminta penyidik Polda Metro Jaya. Dia meminta kejaksaan transparan dalam menyimpan barang bukti narkoba yang diajukan ke pengadilan. Mereka juga meminta Kejati Jakarta dicopot karena tidak mampu menjaga kehormatan instansinya.

''Kasus penjualan barang bukti narkotika dan obat-obatan berbahaya (narkoba) yang melibatkan dua jaksa telah menyebabkan keresahan di kalangan masyarakat. Terlebih sang pelaku ternyata dibebaskan,'' kritiknya.

Perwakilan empat organisasi gerakan antinarkoba yang berunjuk rasa akhirnya dapat beraudiensi dengan pihak Kejagung. Mereka pun lantas beramai-ramai melampiaskan kemarahan terkait dibebaskannya jaksa Ester Thanak dan Dara Veranita.Kapuspenkum Kejagung Jasman Pandjaitan lantas memberikan kesempatan berbicara secara bergiliran.

UNODC has selected “drugs are not child’s play” as the theme of its 2006 international campaign, in an effort to increase public awareness about the destructive power of drugs and society’s responsibility to care for the well-being of children. The latest estimates indicate that 200 million people, or 5 per cent of the global population age 15-64, have consumed illicit drugs at least once in the last 12 months. But what about kids? What about children (aged 4 to 10)?

Although they are seldom the object of national and international studies, children of all ages are affected by drug abuse and illicit trafficking. Street children, working and living in dire conditions, are vulnerable, as are boys and girls whose family members are buying or selling illicit substances. These kids are exposed not only to bad examples but also to violent behaviour associated to drug abuse. In some instances, children have lost their parents to this scourge and are now cared for by uncles, aunts or grandparents. At school, the situation may not be any better. Teenagers and peers may be pressuring kids to smoke cigarrettes and drink alcohol, at first, and then to try marihuana. Other types of drugs may follow.

UNODC’s anti-drugs campaign urges adults to protect children. Parents, siblings and other family members can ensure that a child’s home is a safe environment and that children are aware of the dangers associated with drug abuse. Teachers and social workers also have a role to play by watching out for warning signs and taking measures to address any drug-related problems. For example, teachers can provide kids with information on the health risks linked to drug abuse and also give them a forum to discuss the issue openly. Other individuals and organizations can and should also contribute to the protection of children. The media, non-governmental organizations and government institutions are among them.
