Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has said readjusting to life back in the UK after six years imprisoned in Iran was “very hard” and “a lot slower” than she expected as her story was kept “fresh on a daily basis” by Iranian unrest.
Speaking at Glastonbury Festival, where she joined a talk about Iranian women’s rights on Friday afternoon, Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe discussed the impact of seeing civil unrest and protests in Iran, centred around the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in September 2022 while in police custody for wearing her hijab too loosely.
