Hampstead and Kilburn MP Tulip Siddiq
(Picture: Lucy Young)Writing this article almost feels like a dream. For the past six years, whenever I’ve spoken, written, argued or tweeted about Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, it’s always been about bringing her home. But today, after I write this article, I can go to sleep safe in the knowledge that Nazanin has been reunited with her husband Richard and their seven-year-old daughter Gabriella. It is a feeling of utmost joy, albeit tinged with disbelief.
I still remember the first time I met Richard Ratcliffe. I had just given birth when I received a call from Oliver in my office. He told me that an urgent case needed my attention. As a constituency MP, I knew I couldn’t ignore the fact that my constituent Nazanin had been detained in Iran under false charges, whether I was recovering from a C-section or not.
