Polanski leaves Swiss jail for medical treatment |
Filmmaker Roman Polanski has been granted leave from the Swiss jail where he was detained
on a US warrant to get medical treatment. The Rosemary's Baby director had fled
to France in 1978 as he was about to be sentenced for having illegal intercourse
with a 13-year-old girl. Lodged in a Zurich jail, he has been fighting his extradition
to the US following his arrest last month. However, the 76-year-old Polanski has
now been let out temporarily for receiving treatment for an unknown medical condition,
according to his lawyer. "All I know is that he has been taken from prison for
medical attention. I don't know where he is or when he will be returned to prison,"
the Daily Express quoted his French lawyer Herve Temime, as saying. Only last
week Temime had said that Polanski was "tired and depressed" and in an "unsettled
state of mind" when he visited him in jail. |
