Morad Tahbaz: Lord Ahmad's statement, 26 October 2022
Foreign Office Minister Lord Ahmad has called on Iran to release Morad Tahbaz.
Lord Ahmad said:
The Tahbaz family have confirmed that Morad has been returned to Evin prison by the Iranian authorities. By continuing his horrendous ordeal with these cruel tactics, Iran sends a clear message to the international community that Iran does not deliver on its commitments.
We call on Iran to release Morad so he may re-join family in Tehran immediately. We will continue to work closely with our US partners to hold Iran to account, and to secure Morad’s permanent release and departure from Iran.
