The 27-year old wife (photo) of one of the four Chinese miners who was sentenced this week for illegal mining, immigration violations and weapons charges is pleading with the High Court in the southern Ghanaian city of Kumasi to reverse its decision to deport her husband.

Rebecca Oforiwaa appeared earlier this week outside of the High Court where she made an emotional plea on behalf of her husband, Lan Haisong, who she said provides for her and her children. In fact, she made her appeal just four days after giving birth to her fourth child with Lan.
