The husband of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has said the Government must act “more promptly” than it did to help free his wife after Iran detained a British couple on a motorcycle journey around the world.

Craig and Lindsay Foreman were reportedly held in January but the country’s state-run media revealed this week they had been accused of security-related offences.
