Morad Tahbaz, an environmental campaigner held in Iran, has ended a nine-day hunger strike, his daughter said Tuesday, reiterating his family’s frustration with the UK government’s handling of the case.

Tahbaz, 69, who holds British, US and Iranian citizenship, remains in prison in Tehran while two other UK-Iranians -- Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori -- were released and flew home earlier this month.
