不法監禁 ― false imprisonment

ワシントン発フィラデルフィア行きのユナイテッド航空機の乗客が、到着後も寝ていたところそのまま放置され、機内に4時間余りも閉じ込められたために苦痛を味わったとして、”不法監禁”（false imprisonment）などで航空会社を訴えているというニュースが目に留まりました。


A Ferndale woman is suing United Airlines after she fell asleep and was left alone locked in a jet on the tarmac for four hours.

Ginger McGuire, 36, is suing for false imprisonment, infliction of emotional distress and negligence, her attorney, Geoffrey Fieger said this morning.

The flight from Dulles International Airport in Washington arrived at Philadelphia International Airport shortly before 12:30 a.m., according to Fieger. A cleaning crew discovered a dozing McGuire, locked her back in and then brought in federal officers concerned about terrorists to question her.
