British-Iranian mother Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is about to leave Iran where she has been detained since 2016, her MP has said.
Both Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe and fellow detainee Anousheh Ashoori are heading to Tehran airport to leave the country, said Tulip Siddiq. The Labour MP for Hampstead and Kilburn wrote on Twitter: "Nazanin is at the airport in Tehran and on her way home.”
The Foreign Office has not commented on the reports and earlier on Tuesday Boris Johnson said negotiations about Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe were 'moving forward' but 'going right up to the wire'. Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe has been detained in Iran for nearly six years after being arrested while taking her daughter to see her family. She was accused of plotting to overthrow the Iranian government, which she denied.
