Is it illegal to buy Indian anticancer drugs?

On August 3 1 day, the Intermediate People's Court of Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province sentenced an Indian anticancer drug purchasing case in the first instance. The court sentenced Lin Yongxiang and others 1 1 defendants to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from three years and nine months to six years and six months, and sentenced Wang Feng to fixed-term imprisonment of three years, suspended for three years, and fined different amounts. Three defendants, including Cao Xuanchang and Ma, were exempted from criminal punishment; During the probation period of Wang Bee, it is forbidden to engage in drug sales activities.

The court found through trial that from July 20 1 1 to July 20 14, 15, the defendant bought a large amount of Indian anticancer drugs through ANKIT, an Indian, or through others, and then sold them at a higher price in China through the Internet or in hospitals.

These drugs are imported without approval and should be treated as counterfeit drugs according to law.

It is worth noting that the court held that, considering that the defendant was not deeply subjective and vicious, there was no evidence to prove that he had caused harm to others or delayed medical treatment, he could be given a lighter punishment as appropriate.

After the case was pronounced, Lin Yongxiang appealed in court.

Such a thing reminds people of the movie "Survival Desire".

Dying tells the story of Xu zhēng, the owner of health care products, "purchasing" Indian generic drugs for terminally ill patients when the imported drugs are expensive. It is not only a touching civilian hero film, but also a deeper and wider discussion because of its portrayal of the practical problems of traditional Chinese medicine.

In the movie, Yong Cheng, played by Xu zhēng, is a male health care product vendor who runs a divine oil shop, but by chance, he becomes the exclusive agent of Indian generic drugs, thus reaping high profits, and is called "God of Medicine" by everyone. However, after coming into contact with this group of leukemia patients, Yong Cheng's kindness was aroused and a game between humanity and reality was staged. Contradictions such as the survival dilemma of patients, the moral dilemma of drug dealers, the legal dilemma of police and the commercial dilemma of pharmaceutical companies appear in the film, which is thought-provoking.

Previously, a patient in Shanghai was called "the real version of the drug god".

Zhai, who has four years of anti-cancer experience, did not expect that he would lose his personal freedom because he bought anti-cancer drugs.

From 20 16, he helped the patients he met in QQ group to buy anticancer drugs from Germany, so some patients with advanced liver cancer continued their lives. Two years later, he became the pillar of the group of patients, and many patients sent cases to ask him every day.

Zhai Yiping, 46, said he didn't know it would violate the law.

On July 25th, 20 18, Zhai was detained on suspicion of selling counterfeit drugs, and now he is detained in Shanghai detention center.
