Just under two weeks after the return to the UK of Iran detainees Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori, a man who was allegedly supposed to come home with them, is still in detention in Iran.

Morad Tahbaz’s family said they were promised he’d fly back to the UK alongside Nazanin and Anoosheh, but his daughter Roxanne found out on the day he was due to return that he wasn’t on the flight.

Now back on the campaign trail to bring him home, Roxanne tells the Evening Standard how it all happened, the latest from officials, and why he’s now on a hunger strike.
