A migrant resident at Hal Far open centre, Saharla Mohammed Ismail, 23, originally from Somalia, was today jailed for six months after she admitted in court to having given her Maltese passport to another migrant, Nimra Salah Yassin in an effort to help her to get to Italy.

Ms Yassin had wanted to go to Italy to seek her husband, whom she had not seen since 2007.

Ms Yassin was arraigned in court and jailed last week.
