Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe: Foreign Secretary's statement, 2 November 2020
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has said Iran's decision to begin a new case against Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is "appalling".

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.
