I am very happy to tell you guys with an update.
I am sure many of you have read the news over the week ago about Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe.
I talked about it on my October 2021 blog post last year given it has been over 5 years now 6 years.
Well as of Wednesday 16th March 2022, the positive news came in the press and on social media that Nazanin is finally freed.
She is no longer being prisoned in Iran and that she returned home to Britain. Being reunited with Richard Ratcliffe and daughter Gabriella.
How it did really happened? The UK government paid the debt to the Iranian government. Debt that dates back to the 1970s. £393.8m. Nearly £400m. Read more about it
One thing I know for sure. This should had been resolved couple of years ago. Almost 6 years and 5 Foreign secretaries. Now Liz Truss has the credit for being the one to secure the release of Nazanin.All the years of campaigning hard & adding pressures nonstop on the British government (under 3 Prime Ministers) by Richard Ratcliffe, Tulip Siddiq MP and the Free Nazanin campaign group. It has finally paid off.
