An Israeli woman imprisoned for over a month in Belarus on suspicion of having tried to smuggle a small amount of medical marijuana into the country has implored Israeli officials to intervene on her behalf, saying that she may not survive behind bars much longer.
“My health is waning. I can no longer stay here, and I will not last much longer,” said Maya Rayten-Stol, a lawyer who was detained at the Minsk airport on November 4 with some 2.5 grams (under a tenth of an ounce) of medical cannabis.
Upon her arrest, she reportedly stressed to Belarussian authorities that the marijuana in her possession was licensed by the Health Ministry and tried to show documents to prove her assertion, but was ignored. She suffers from several unspecified conditions, according to a letter from fellow lawyers sent to Israeli officials on her behalf.
