A 29-year-old Mainland woman who arranged for non-local pregnant women to give birth in Hong Kong has been jailed 10 months by Sha Tin Magistracy.

She admitted breaching her conditions of stay and making a false representation to an immigration officer.

She was stopped at Lok Ma Chau Control Point on January 15 and admitted she had been running a business to arrange for pregnant non-locals to enter Hong Kong to give birth.

Visitors are not allowed to work or establish or join in any business in Hong Kong without permission from the Director of Immigration.
