Man who took Ebola to America to b prosecuted by Liberia
Liberian authorities say they will prosecute Eric Duncan,
the Liberian man diagnosed with Ebola in the US once he
finishes his treatment in America and returns home.
"We wish him a speedy recovery; we await his arrival
in Liberia to face prosecution" Binyah Kesselly,
chairman of the board of directors of the Liberia
Airport Authority said.
Duncan is accused of lying to health officials when he
filled a questionnaire before leaving the country last
month saying that none of his relatives were sick. But
investigations by the health ministry showed he had an
Ebola infected relative whom he had taken to a hospital on
a wheelbarrow but was turned back from the hospital after
being told they lacked bed space for his ill relative.
Duncan, said to be in a serious condition in a Dallas
hospital, is the 1st case of Ebola to be diagnosed on US
soil.
