Isreal holds Ghanaian migrant in isolation after she refused to be tested for TB
Jossephine Kwabiwaa was held in isolation after she refused to be tested for tuberculosis, despite her expressing concern that radiation could affect her pregnancy
A heavily pregnant migrant worker from Ghana has been held in isolation for four months by the Israel Prison Service, despite the World Medical Association and the United Nations saying that holding pregnant women in isolation could severely hurt their physical and mental health and potentially harm the fetus.
The prison service put Jossephine Kwabiwaa, 32, in isolation because she refused to be tested for tuberculosis, which prisoners who come from African nations are generally required to do. Kwabiwaa says she is afraid of taking the tests, which include X-rays, out of concern that radiation could affect her pregnancy.
