Well, she's had her ankle tag taken off but is apparently due in court next Sunday on other charges.

What a stupid and desperate situation.

One of the most shameful episodes of Johnson's career - and that's saying something.

Shameful indeed, just pay what Iran is owed and stop all this nonsense of her being held to ransom.
She isn't the only British Iranian who has been thrown in jail for "trying to overthrow the regime."
The Iranian regime are complete bastards to their own people.
I do wish they'd be freed of this totalitarian regime.

She'd be free if the Government gave the money for the tanks back.

Do you think they'll let her go, and be our best buddies if we do that?

I'd be happy if they just let her go really, the rest is gravy.

Me too, but I think it’s highly unlikely. This is Iran flexing the muscles that it has. They have absolutely no regard for human rights, or even human life, as has been demonstrated numerous times.I wonder if they’ll ever let her go. She’s an apostate by definition, her husband and kids aren ‘t Muslims.

Tbh I did not think Iran is as authoritarian as all that. :ooer: It does have a dodgy human rights record - but I always had the impression that it tolerated other religions. There are hundreds of churches on there. And synagogues too. There was an era when probably none of us on here were yet born, when it had a very westernised, secular outlook. Till the mid 70's when fundamentalism took over again (in a sort of ''reverse Arab-spring'', that was rampaging across the entire Arab world - I remember watching some of it on TV.)

Had a quick peep at Wiki to find out more about the country ...... it seems it has quite a bit of clout, being wealthy and being a member of various international organizations, including IMF, Interpol, OIC, OPEC, WHO, and founder member of the UN, ........ and it currently ''has observer status at the World Trade Organization'' and it's on good terms with Russia. Yes it's flexing its muscles here.

This makes as much sense as those court sentences where someone gets 18months jail for reckless driving AND a 6months driving ban concurrently. :scratch:

I don't hold out much hope for Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe. She is clearly a political football in a country which feels (rightly or wrongly) that it has a lot to be aggrieved about.

Another cliff hanger.

Officials have downplayed reports Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is set to be released from Iran after state TV suggested Britain would pay a £400m debt to secure her release.

Richard Ratcliffe, the husband of the British-Iranian charity worker, said the family had not been updated but welcomed the signals from Tehran over the long-running dispute as "a good sign".

The 1 year travel ban is for when she gets out of prison, and not while she's still inside.

Why does our Government use sanctions as an excuse to not pay Iran the money they are rightfully owed in order to get this poor woman released?
It is pretty fucking shameful.

Because if they pay out that £400m, their Islamophobic, gammon followers will desert them in droves.
