British drugs suspect Bella May Culley, 18, is 'depressed, confused and scared' as she faces possible life imprisonment, says her lawyer.
The teenager from Billingham, County Durham is accused of carrying 30lbs of cannabis into ex-Soviet republic Georgia.
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 Radio Free Europe (RFE): '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.'
Law enforcement is expected to contact the suspect 'in a few days' in her detention jail.
