Published By GOV.UK [English], Fri, Oct 1, 2021 3:56 AM


Foreign Secretary, Liz Truss said:

As Morad Tahbaz turns 66 today, he faces another birthday spent unjustly detained in Iran.

I call on Iran to immediately end its cruel treatment of Morad and allow him proper medical treatment.

I raised Morad’s case with the Iranian Foreign Minister last week and remain committed to bringing him home to be reunited with his family.
