A leader of a religious cult that embraces anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic and homophobic teachings has been transferred from a New Mexico jail cell to a hospital after beginning a hunger strike, authorities confirm.

Deborah Green, the 70-year-old self-described “general” of the Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps, reportedly began her hunger strike about a week after her arrest during a raid on the group’s secluded paramilitary-style compound in Fence Lake, New Mexico.

State prosecutors filed a court motion to have Green moved to a hospital because she has not had food or water for at least three days, KRQE-TV in Albuquerque reported on Monday.

Green, who’s also known as Lila Green, was arrested on counts of child abuse, failure to report the birth of a child and child rape. Her son-in-law, Peter Green, 54, was arrest on 100 counts of child rape.
