A second pregnant woman is being held in immigration detention on Nauru, the UNHCR has confirmed to Guardian Australia. The woman, of Rohingya descent, is thought to be about 30 years old and is seven months pregnant with twins, according to UNHCR and other sources who did not want to be identified. The woman told representatives from the UN refugee body, on an official visit to Nauru last week, that she was also diagnosed with diabetes, meaning the pregnancy is high-risk. She has two young children and is being held in regional processing centre 3, along with her husband and family. Regional processing centre 3 is the family unit which comprises three marquee tents.
