Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a British-Iranian mum who was detained in Iran for nearly six years, has been released from prison. She is returning to the UK, along with a second dual national, Anoosheh Ashoori.
Earlier today, Tulip Siddiq, Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s MP in Hampstead and Kilburn, wrote on Twitter: “Nazanin is at the airport in Tehran and on her way home.” Mrs Zaghari-Radcliffe's husband Richard Ratcliffe, who fought a tenacious battle to secure her release, said it meant “we can stop being a moment in history and start being a normal family again”
On Tuesday (March 16) it emerged she had been given her passport back in what supporters hoped would be a major breakthrough. The release follows months of intensive diplomatic negotiations between London and Tehran.
