Charlotte Bellis: I don't want to be in Afghanistan after 30 weeks

A Kiwi Journalist stranded overseas hopes the Government will look at whether the managed isolation system is fit for purpose.  Charlotte Bellis found out she was pregnant in Qatar, where it's illegal to be unmarried and pregnant.  She and her partner fled for Afghanistan – the only place they had visas for.  An emergency application for MIQ with 59 supporting documents was rejected.  Bellis told Tim Beveridge she doesn't want to be in Afghanistan after 30 weeks as premature care is almost non-existent.  She says she has considered going to Belgium – where her partner is from – but she'd become an illegal overstayer. “Running around the world trying to get asylum in different places and risk imprisonment for being there illegally, but that’s what it comes down to if New Zealand continues to reject us, then that’s what we’ll have to do.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
