Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe: Foreign Secretary's statement, 14 March 2021

Dominic Raab has issued a statement on Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s case, following a further hearing in Iran on 14 March 2021.

This was published under the 2019 to 2022 Johnson Conservative government

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said:

It is unacceptable and unjustifiable that Iran has chosen to continue with this second, wholly arbitrary, case against Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe. The Iranian government has deliberately put her through a cruel and inhumane ordeal.

Nazanin must be allowed to return to her family in the UK without further delay. We continue to do all we can to support her.
