BRITISH drugs suspect Bella May Culley, 18, is “depressed, confused and scared”;; as she faces possible life imprisonment in Georgia, her lawyer has said.
The teenager from County Durham is accused of carrying cannabis into the Eastern European country.
Lawyer Ia Todua said: “The detainee says that she is pregnant.
“She needs special examination and attention.
“In addition, in my assessment, she was depressed, confused and scared.”;;
Todua told RFE/RL: “When the accusation was presented, given that it was a foreign environment for her, it was her first time communicating with law enforcement officers, we agreed on such a position that she should exercise her right to remain silent in order to develop herself.”;;
Todua revealed that Culley’s father Neil was flying to Tbilisi.
She was detained after drugs were allegedly found in her suitcase after arriving from Thailand.
It is possible that a separate legal team will be hired.
The British embassy in Tbilisi said: “We are assisting the family of the British woman detained in Georgia and are also in contact with the local authorities.”;;
