A project manager for the Thomas Reuters Foundation, she was \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2016\/09\/13\/iran-5-year-sentence-dual-national-dubious-charges\u0022\u003Efirst arrested at Tehran Airport\u003C\/a\u003E in April 2016, after a trip to Iran to visit her family. She was convicted under vague national security charges and sentenced to five years in prison. Zaghari-Ratcliffe \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/persian\/iran-56311133\u0022\u003Eserved the majority of her sentence\u003C\/a\u003E in Evin Prison, until she was released last year due to Covid-19 concerns and kept under house arrest. An ankle monitor that was used to track her movement was removed on March 7. However, she is still banned from leaving the country.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EHojjat Kermani, Zaghari-Ratcliffe\u2019s lawyer, said that \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.radiofarda.com\/a\/31138204.html\u0022\u003Eshe is now facing new charges\u003C\/a\u003E of \u201cpropaganda activities against the regime\u201d for participating in a rally in front of the Iranian Embassy in London in 2009 and giving an interview to the BBC Persian Channel. Branch 15 of the Revolutionary Court of Tehran has set March 14, 2021 as the hearing date to review her case.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EThe unjust imprisonment of dual citizens based on vague charges continues to be a tactic by the Iranian regime to influence negotiations with the EU, UK, and US.

Richard Ratcliffe, Nazanin\u2019s husband, claims that Iran has sought to pressure the UK through arresting dual nationals to pay back money for a weapons deal to Iran decades ago that the UK never completed.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\u003C\/div\u003E\n","settings":null}]
