British-Iranian national Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe lost an appeal for a second jail sentence in Iran

The British-Iranian aid worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who was released from house arrest in the Iranian capital of Tehran in March 2021, has lost an appeal to a second sentence. Zaghari-Ratcliffe was jailed for five years in 2016 for allegations of “plotting against the regime” and was sentenced to another year’s confinement in April on propaganda charges.

British-Iranian mother Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has lost an appeal against a second jail term in Iran after spending more than five years in detention, her supporters said on Saturday.

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, British-Iranian aid worker, is stuck in an Iranian #prison from more than 5 years over alleged accusations of plotting against the regime. She hasn’t met her husband or daughter ever since her arrest.

Vijaya How about just returning their money, it is only £400m & there is no dispute that the UK owes Iran the money. It is the UK which is in breach of contract. UK excuse is that American sanctions prevent us returning the money. Surely an innocent person’s life has to count more.

David Ash It was the government who made it worse. When Boris said she was a journalist, the Iranian Government believed him, even though Boris was so very wrong.
