［2023年3月23日］
一名26歲內地孕婦向入境事務處（入境處）職員作虛假申述，昨日於沙田裁判法院被判監禁14個月。
被告早前以旅客身分抵港，並在未經預約下前往急症室產子，入境處因而向其展開調查。調查期間，被告辯稱她在抵港時對自己已懷孕一事並不知情，及對辦理入境手續時的情況沒有印象。調查人員及後發現，被告於抵港前曾在內地進行產前檢查，並取得被告相關內地產檢紀錄作為證據，繼而向她作進一步查問。被告最終承認其來港的真正目的是為了在港產子，在辦理入境手續時向入境處職員謊稱沒有懷孕。被告因涉嫌就其懷孕的情況向入境處職員作出虛假申述而被落案起訴。被告於昨日在沙田裁判法院承認控罪，判監14個月。
根據現行法例，任何人士向入境處人員作出虛假申述，即屬違法。違例者會被檢控，一經定罪，最高可被判罰款十五萬元及入獄十四年。
A Mainland woman was convicted of making false representation to immigration staff and was sentenced to 14 months' imprisonment yesterday (March 22) at the Shatin Magistrates' Courts.
The 26-year-old defendant previously arrived in Hong Kong as a visitor and she afterwards went to an Accident and Emergency Department for delivery without prior booking. The Immigration Department (ImmD) thus launched an investigation against her. During the investigation, the defendant alleged that she had no knowledge of her pregnancy at the time of arrival in Hong Kong and had no recollection of the situation of the then arrival clearance. However, upon subsequent investigation, investigators found out the defendant had conducted antenatal check on the Mainland prior to the arrival in Hong Kong and had retrieved the relevant antenatal check as evidence. Investigators further enquired the defendant and she eventually admitted that her real purpose of visiting Hong Kong was giving birth and she falsely claimed to ImmD staff that she was not pregnant during arrival clearance. The defendant was subsequently charged of making false representation to Immigration staff on her pregnancy status. The defendant pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to 14 months' imprisonment at the Shatin Magistrates' Courts yesterday.
