This is an utterly shameful, spiteful act by the Iranian authorities. No matter that Britain chose to hang onto the money paid out under the Shah's tyrannical regime and Boris Johnson while Foreign Secretary stupidly put his foot in it, the poor woman and her child should not be unjustly held against her will as some sort of bargaining chip.
As was Afghanistan, women went to university, held important roles in society etc. people were relatively free. However let in the mad mullahs with their partisan and false views and it all goes horribly wrong.
I can't believe she went there after what she had been upto, totally nieve!
Nothing that I have read or heard justifies her spiteful imprisonment.
Well being involved in training pro-democracy reporters in Iran during the Arab Spring, sorry I mean "doing the photocopying" at the BBC department engaged in that, whilst a noble act, is likely to put you on the wrongside of the regime and should be enough to perhaps strike that country off the holiday list.
Wow. What did Iran do to deserve that comparison?
For the British Government there are a few hundred millions that they acknowledge thay have been sitting on for more than 40 years; they do have a record of interfering in the Middle East and of course, they can't afford to upset Trump and his lunatic fringe.
