MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) — The Liberian man infected with Ebola who brought the disease to the United States will be prosecuted when he returns home for lying on his airport screening questionnaire, Liberian authorities said Thursday.

With an Ebola epidemic raging in West Africa, passengers leaving Liberia are being screened for fever and are asked if they have had contact with anyone infected.

On the form obtained by The Associated Press and confirmed by a government official, Thomas Eric Duncan answered "no" to questions about whether he had cared for an Ebola patient or touched the body of someone who had died in an area affected by Ebola.

Duncan left for the U.S. on Sept. 19 to visit family and became sick a few days after he arrived.

He is currently in isolation at a hospital in Dallas, Texas, and is listed as being in serious but stable condition.

Days before he left Liberia, Duncan had helped carry to a taxi a pregnant woman who later died of Ebola, according to neighbors. Her illness at the time was believed to be pregnancy-related.

At the time Duncan left for the U.S., it's not clear if he knew of the woman's diagnosis.

Officials have said Duncan was showing no symptoms when he boarded the plane and he was therefore not contagious.

Ebola can only be spread through the bodily fluids of people showing signs of the disease.

"He will be prosecuted" when he returns to Liberia, Binyah Kesselly, chairman of the board of directors of the Liberia Airport Authority, told reporters.

He said that people like Duncan and Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian-American with Ebola who traveled to Nigeria and infected people there, have brought a "stigma" upon Liberians living abroad.

Because you cannot arrest a dead man...

There's no point. Besides, even if he survives I'm sure he wouldn't go back to Liberia. He was only there to visit his family.

in case of Inca city

Melahou:

Because you cannot arrest a dead man...

Thank you jare. Some people think with their buttocks

Liberia should focus on containing this disease else more people will bring more 'stigma' to them... and africa as a poster rightly pointed out.

Nonsense, why did a Liberian health minister, allegedly, said he/she will not apologyse to Nigeria and now they want to prosecute somebody who was, alegedly, not aware he was infected and may even die, jusr because its now USA.

This is fast turning into Liberia's major export to the world. Wish them the best anyways.

It's clear that one was a fool.
But the President of Liberia apologized to Nigeria.

Liberia with inferiority complex since 1947

Prosecute him,or arrest their airport officials for inefficiency.

These liberians are jokers. other countries are exporting oil, liberians are busy exporting Ebola.

If he ever comes back

What I wanna deduce from this incident is...
There are possibly myriads of undiagnosed cases out there, especially asymptomatic ones! That's a redflag!

Not just a Liberian stigma Sir but an African stigma in general.Liberia...Nigeria...these foreigners don't care.To them,its all semantics.Black Africans are all one and thesame.Get with the programme

this people need to tight up their airports....... the way the Ebola is passing through it is very alarming...
are there no device to check them before going out
asking ordinary questions won't help

traware: Not just a Liberian stigma Sir but an African stigma in general.Liberia...Nigeria...these foreigners don't care.To them,its all semantics.Black Africans are all one and thesame.Get with the programme

yeah, black is black and that's all they know. it's an african stigma, right. I was just using their own words.

These liberian clowns should get a life for budha's sake...

The same Americans who created the Ebola now has Ebola in their country. Who says Karma isn't a biaatch?!!
