Community Activist Offers Drug Addicts Safe Haven In Mobile Consumption Room

GLASGOW, SCOTLAND - OCTOBER 30: Discarded needles are left in a lane next to Parnie Street near to the Safe Consumption van set up by Peter Krykant on October 30, 2020 in Glasgow,Scotland. Peter Krykant, 43, who set up the safe use van for drugs consumption, was charged for obstructing officers, who sought to search his van, under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. The movement toward liberalisation and decriminalisation of drug laws has found greater support among Scottish politicians than among those in Westminster. Advocates of relaxing such laws argue that these measures would promote harm reduction and reduce Scotland's high rate of drug-related deaths. (Photo by Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images)
