JAKARTA (JP): Zarina, the television actress sentenced to four years jail Thursday for storing 29,677 Ecstasy pills, was rushed to hospital a day after the verdict.

Officers at Pondok Bambu women's correctional center rushed Zarina to the hospital, her lawyer Henry Yosodiningrat said yesterday.

Zarina, 25, collapsed in the West Jakarta District Court Thursday after the judge sentenced her to jail. She was taken to the nearby Harapan Kita Hospital and was treated for shock a few hours for shock.

Henry said he was still unclear on the cause of the emergency admission, but said it sounded serious as it happened in the dead of night.

"At noon her sister called me and said Zarina was on a drip," he said.

A nurse in Zarina's ward said yesterday Zarina was still on the drip.

"Her family are still watching over her and visitors are not allowed," the nurse said.

She refused to say what Zarina was suffering from but said Zarina only needed a rest. (12)
