The sister-in-law of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has told of the "special moments" her family have shared since the jailed British-Iranian national finally returned to the UK. Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe, her husband Richard and her daughter Gabriella are "looking forward to a new life" together after being reunited following a six-year ordeal.
There were big hugs all round as Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe - together with fellow freed dual national Anoosheh Ashoori - landed at Brize Norton military airbase in Oxfordshire in the early hours of Thursday (March 17) morning. She had been detained in Iran since 2016, having been accused of plotting to overthrow the Iranian government, which she denies.
The mum-of-one was pictured on the plane returning her to the UK on Wednesday afternoon. Labour's Tulip Siddiq, the family's local MP, confirmed the news on Twitter, writing: "Nazanin is at the airport in Tehran and on her way home. I came into politics to make a difference, and right now I’m feeling like I have."
