British Teen's Legal Battle: A High-Stakes Drama in Georgia

Bella Culley, a pregnant British teenager, is in the spotlight after being arrested in Georgia on drug smuggling charges. Her family, determined to secure her release, has paid $187,000 as compensation to the court.

Culley, hailing from Billingham, England, was reportedly detained at Tbilisi's airport in May, accused of carrying a significant amount of marijuana and hashish. Her mother, Lyanne Kennedy, faced the press outside the Tbilisi courthouse, expressing hope for her daughter's release as funds transfer takes place.

The high-profile case takes a dramatic turn with claims of torture forcing Culley to smuggle drugs. She has maintained her innocence, pleading not guilty, and a subsequent hearing is scheduled for next Monday.
