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 went on a three week hunger strike in October and November to push for her release. Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is being held on spying charges, which she denies. Ros Atkins looks at how her story is part of a complicated history between Iran and the UK.
