Fourth anniversary of Anoosheh Ashoori's detention: Foreign Secretary Statement
On the fourth anniversary of Anoosheh Ashoori's detention in Iran, the Foreign Secretary has released a statement.

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said:

Iran’s continued detention of Anoosheh Ashoori is wholly unjustified. We call on Iran to end his suffering and allow him to return home to be reunited with his wife Sherry, and children, Aryan and Elika.

We are doing everything we can to secure the release of Anoosheh and other dual British nationals who have been arbitrarily detained. We call on President Raisi’s administration to start to set a new course for Iran by releasing them.
