Foreign Secretary statement on Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe

Published By GOV.UK [English], Mon, Nov 2, 2020 7:23 AM


Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said:

“It is appalling that Iran has begun a new case against Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe, and have threatened her with being returned to prison. The Iranian authorities have put an intolerable burden on Nazanin and her family.

“I am relieved she remains on temporary release, but she needs to be returned home to her family. We continue to make this clear in the strongest terms.”
