Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s husband has criticised ministers for “refusing” to take the issue of state hostage-taking seriously after the Foreign Office rejected recommendations designed to improve the Government’s response.
The Foreign Affairs Committee (FAC), in its April report Stolen Years: Combatting State Hostage Diplomacy, condemned the Government’s handling of cases such as Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s and that of British-Iranian dual national Anoosheh Ashoori.
