Seychellen. Why Seychelles has world's worst heroin problem

The island paradise of Seychelles is suffering from a drug epidemic of huge proportions.

Between 5,000 and 6,000 people out of a total population of 94,000 - the equivalent of nearly 10% of the working population - are addicted to heroin, according to the Agency for the Prevention of Drug Abuse and Rehabilitation (APDAR) in the Seychelles. (BBC, UK, 21.11.2019)
