Speaking at Mayor’s Question Time this morning, the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said:
“I’m today calling on the Prime Minister to do all he can to help secure the immediate release of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and to meet with her husband Richard Ratcliffe as a matter of urgency.
“Nazanin is a Londoner and London stands in solidarity with her.
“She’s suffered for more than three years after being wrongly imprisoned in Iran and was recently admitted to a clinic due to ill health.
“With rising political tensions in Iran, there’s simply no time to waste.
“The Prime Minister needs to step up, right this wrong and ensure that Nazanin – and other British prisoners being wrongly held in Iran – are able to return home safely and be reunited with their families.”
