Imprisoned 8 days after birth, pregnant mother: The police asked me to give a statement, they did not tell me about the arrest

Diana Bahçja, the expectant mother who was arrested leaving the baby only 8 days old, gave an interview to "Review" in Euronews Albania after her release from prison.

She said that the stress of the created situation has left her breast.

"The police came to the house. He asked me to go, to make a statement, I was not told about the arrest.

I was not aware that there was a decision from the court. After I went to the police station, I was notified after 3 hours," said the young woman.

The 25-year-old woman said that she was raped by her father-in-law and mother-in-law at her first husband's house and they kicked her out of the house, separating her from her daughter and then accusing her of child abandonment, which led to her arrest. hers, she just gave birth to her second child from another marriage.

"I had a good relationship with my ex-husband, but no longer with his family. For God's sake, I don't know why they kicked me out, they just kicked me out when I had my 8-month-old daughter, that I understood at all.

I was 17 years old when I got married and my family influenced me. He was overseas on business. I lived with my ex-husband's parents," said Diana, who said that there is no information about the daughter she has from this marriage.

She showed that the ex-husband is married and has children from the new marriage, just like Diana who has a son.

The court of first instance in Tirana imposed a fine in 2020 of 2 million and 500 thousand old lek, converting it to 50 days in prison. The reason for the fine is the abandonment of the child Diana has from her first marriage.
