PREGNANT Chinese National Jiam Xin He, who it is believed over stayed her seven-day time in the country, is in custody awaiting habeas corpus proceedings.
The matter came up for hearing at the High Court before Acting Chief Justice, Mr. Ian Chang yesterday with the woman being represented by Mr. Adrian Thompson, who made an application for a writ of habeas corpus.
According to reports it was originally thought that the woman was in possession of a forged visa but upon investigation it was disclosed that the visa was genuine.
But it was learnt that the visa upon which the woman entered Guyana had expired and during that time she attempted to walk over to Brazil, hence she was arrested and charged for being a prohibited Immigrant.
In court yesterday during the habeas corpus proceedings in the C.J. Chambers were lawyer Adrian Thompson, the Deputy Chief Immigration  Officer and Inspector Reid from Eve Leary  Headquarters.
Further hearing in the Chief Justice’s Chambers was adjourned to today.
The woman is in police custody.
