Several associations specializing in addiction filed appeals on Thursday to annul the order of the police prefect banning groups of crack users in the capital and in Seine-Saint-Denis. This decree, renewed every month since April 2023, is “a serious and manifestly illegal attack on the fundamental right to health protection and the right to life” The “nerve of the war” in the fight against crack, “is access to care”, insisted Jean-Pierre Couteron, the president of Oppelia.
