September, 2012, 1:59pm  The first pregnant mainland woman
arrested for sneaking into the city by plane and giving birth at
the last minute was jailed yesterday.  The Immigration
Department said it would improve communications with airlines
after Ye Qianfeng, 26, was sentenced at Sha Tin Court to eight
months in prison for giving a false statement and presenting
false documents.  She gave birth to a boy in a Hong Kong
hospital while she was under investigation.  It means her son,
whose father is also a mainlander, is legally entitled to right
of abode.  Fung Tai-kwong, assistant principal immigration
officer, said there was no indication that more women were
taking planes to the city to give birth.  He said: "We believe
there is a chance the airline was deceived by her falsified
documents. We will have more communications wit
