However, one must understand that "strict punishment" is not a legally defined term, making it challenging to determine its application in practice.
According to general understanding, "strict" usually implies "severe," therefore "strict punishment" means severe penalty.
But, if there is no explicit legal provision, it cannot be deemed a crime; without clear stipulations, no penalty can be imposed, except in cases where a harsher punishment is explicitly defined.
This leads to two divergent views in practice: some cases argue that organized crime does not pertain to a specific criminal charge and does not affect specific sentencing, only impacting parole and sentence reduction in the future.
The legal basis is the "Criminal Law" Article 81, paragraph 2: Criminals sentenced to ten years or more for organized violent crimes cannot be paroled.
Yet, other cases suggest that once categorized as organized crime, strict inherently means severe.
