‘Until they are out, I will not be free’: Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe on Iranian prisoners

Iran says that more than 22,000 people who were detained during anti-government protests have been pardoned by the country's supreme leader.


-------
The protests have been a cause the British-Iranian woman Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has been supporting, in the year since she was released from detention in Iran accused of spying against the regime.

Now the family's struggle over her detention has been revealed in an extraordinary documentary - following her husband's efforts to juggle campaigning with looking after their daughter - over the five years since Nazanin was arrested.

Containing material captured by Nazanin herself never been seen before - it will be shown on Channel 4 this Thursday.

We sat down with Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe - and asked her how she was adjusting to life back home.

After years reading about her and her family trying to set her free, deeinh her daughter grow up, it's still hard to believe she's free and home.

[sonjam]

Our kids are almost exactly the same age, and I can't imagine what she and her family went through. Absolutely heartbreaking having your freedom taken and missing all that time raising your child. I also signed petitions to help get her free, and it still took years and years and such a toll on all their health.

What an honest and lovely person, İ wish her well but it must have been awful being imprisoned for all those years for nothing

[utubebroadcaster]

This is the real news story, and not what a football presenter opines about immigration policy.

[neilrafferty]

Now she's back i feel so sorry for her husband .

[lemcakes]

UK paid 400 million for her apparently for no reason

[mamabless]

Knew a silicon chip production professor at Middlesex Polytechnic/University in the late 1980s. She was in university in UK when the Iran uprising happened in 1979. She never went back. Lovely funny lady.

could you stop calling grown women "girls"? You never call men "boys".

[hiigara]

I only went to a cat C uk prison while been innocent but I would like to think I can empathise with the elements of not been in control and having a routine

[spammodump]

£400 million could've been a lot of nurses... 😐

[charlievardar]

She left Iran just to land in the UK LOL!

A woman puts her head in a crocodile's mouth. The government advises her that she shouldn't do that. She does it anyway. A crocodile bites her head. The woman complains that the government should have done more to get her head out of the crocodile's mouth despite spending thousands of pounds of other people's money to free her. The woman has the right to put her head in a crocodile's mouth but shouldn't expect everyone else to be responsible for getting her head out.

She shouldn't have gone there in the first place - problem solved.
...And the fact that she selfishly brought her child is still beyond me. I don't see why my country and government should bail out these self absorbed idiots - even if they're trying to save the cheetahs. 😂
