The daughter of a British man who remains jailed in Iran said Father’s Day is “the hardest day of all” as she accused ministers of snubbing her over his case.
Morad Tahbaz, 66, was returned to custody after being allowed out on furlough on the day Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and fellow dual national Anoosheh Ashoori were freed in March. His daughter Roxanne Tahbaz delivered a Father’s Day card and gift to the Foreign Office on Thursday, hoping to meet with ministers and be updated on his situation.
But when she arrived, she was dismayed that her concerns were allegedly turned over to an official from the consular desk, who said they would pass on the message instead. “It was incredibly dispiriting,” Ms Tahbaz said.
