The day is finally here, after six years imprisoned in Iran, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is coming home.

The mother-of-one is on a flight along with British–Iranian businessman Anoosheh Ashoori, who had also been detained since 2017.

Another British national, Morad Tahbaz, has been released from prison but remains in Iran.

We hear from Eilidh Macpherson, an Amnesty International UK campaigner who has worked closely with the families.
