Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s seven-year-old daughter Gabriella was heard asking “is that mummy?” as her mum disembarked the plane that brought her back to the UK and into the arms of her family.
The mum-of-one, who spent nearly six years in an Iran jail, was reunited with her husband and daughter at the Brize Norton military airbase in Oxfordshire shortly after 1am on Thursday morning.
Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe, along with dual national Anoosheh Ashoori who has also been freed, were initially taken to the Gulf state of Oman, which has been closely involved in behind-the-scenes negotiations to secure their releases, before they were flown to the UK.
