The fight for Nazanin’s freedom

Ros Atkins on how the British-Iranian is caught up in a complex geo-political situation.

The husband of a British-Iranian charity worker held in Iran since 2016 has been on hunger strike again to push for her release. Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has been held there on spying charges, which she denies. Ros Atkins looks at how her story is part of a complicated history between Iran and the UK.
