Ten_of_cupss: Former foreign secretary...not a present one...
He didn't do anything for her, why is he talking on the behalf of those who did...
And Zaghari should have showed more gratitude , after all she was imprisoned in her own country...
Britain owes her nothing...
The consequences of her own actions are her own consequences...
Aren't they?
Hi Ten

There were 5 Foreign Secretaries over the course of time that she was first arrested until her release,and she was basically used as a scapegoat.

The main problem seemed to be how to pay money to a country that had been sanctioned or so they say.

I would hate to be apart from my child whatever the reason.

Youcannow: She was imprisoned because the British governments negligence.
No one deserves to have their freedom taken always because of a political tug of war.
I highly doubt she was imprisoned because of British negligence from 1979...
Come on...
I will never trust a person who hates their own mother land...to say the least.

On 17 March 2016, Zaghari-Ratcliffe travelled to visit her family for Nowruz (Iranian New Year) with her 22-month-old daughter. On 3 April 2016, members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard arrested her at the Imam Khomeini Airport as she and her daughter were about to board a flight back to the UK.

The Iranian Government alleged that she was trying to topple the Government.


Why would you assume that she hates her Motherland.dunno

A lot of things actually make me think that...
She has been arrested as an Iranian, isn't she? Travelling with her Iranian passport...
But using her British citizenship to "enlighten" Iranian journalist and bloggers...
Her arrogance towards the British government is disturbing...demanding being freed from her own country while there as an Iranian citizen...
Do you understand me now?

There's a big difference in demanding to be released from Iran ,and demanding to be released from an Iranian prison .


Nazanin served a five-year prison sentence for false charges of ‘membership of an illegal group’. This was apparently in relation to her work for the Thomson Reuters Foundation, a UK-based media charity, where she was working as a project manager when she was arrested. There was no evidence that Nazanin did anything wrong – her job was in no way illegal!

She had been a frequent visitor to Iran to visit family before this arrest with no problems.

I already mention her work with BBC and Reuters, Tiger...in the beginning of this thread...
Teaching working journalists journalism through Western "charity"...
Only she knows what she did or didn't...
But nobody will be arrested out of nowhere just because...
Iranian prison is Iran, whichever way you want to look at it...
Why would she demand UK to free her and not Iran?
Journalism and charities from powerful, financially wealthy and politically involved corporations don't go well together, not in The Middle East...
She should have known that better...

And one more thing...
If there was no prove of her guild, why UK did pay the millions?
In exchange of what?
Innocent people fight their innocence in court...international court in her case...
Is she going to do that?

That’s even more evidence that she was held to ransom by the Iranian government.

She was used as a pawn in the game of Politics. Nothing more nothing less.

Remember Terry Waite and John McCarthy???????????

I was pleased she was released for sure, but she came on interview with her daughter and husband. Well she has to get to no the daughter as the little girl held fathers hand not hers. Did the child need to see all of that? Then she turns round and says she should not have been held so long British governments blame. Can she not remember why that money was not paid in first place.

Also i have seen people trying to rehabilitate after prison and she looked well physically and mentally . she was under house arrest with her parents for a long time.

Nope i hope she keeps out of limelight now as a lot more was going on which we did not get to here. take care of your daughter and husband first i say.
Write a book later but do not slam folk who worked to get you back.

I am looking at this case as a former investigative TV journalist and someone who has been to Iran and worked in the Middle East for long enough, Tiger...
She is Iranian and this is the BIG difference here...

Yes but her husband is English, which is significant.

Instead of writing a book she should fight her innocence in court...
That's the only way to go...
Where's Amal Cloony?

No, no, she was arrested as a Iranian citizen as she used her Iranian passport, but was released with the help of the UK government as a UK citizen...
That's an international affair...handshake

At the end of the day Ten she was warned by the Foreign Office not to travel to Iran but she chose to ignore their advice. I can't see her taking it any further to be honest.sigh

Morning Tiger,
That's what I am talking about.
She knew what she was doing all along.
But the attitude is so very much wrong...
Arrogance, ungratefulness...
Nobody owed her this freedom, nobody...
She is a citizen just like anybody else and she should have known the consequences of her actions...
She won't write a book because she has nothing to say...complaining isn't enough of a topic...
