Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe

Two years ago today, dual-national Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was arrested by the authorities in Iran. Nazanin was then jailed for five-years accused of spying and trying to overthrow the Iranian regime – something she has always denied. Despite a high profile campaign and appeals to the Foreign Secretary for help, there’s no sign of any movement…

The family of the British Iranian woman who’s been jailed in Tehran say they’re hopeful she could be home soon. They’ve discovered that Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s case has been classed as “eligible for early release”. Her husband Richard Ratcliffe said it was “definitely a positive step” – although he was still cautious about the news.
