Title: Couple held in Iran need 'prompt' UK action, says Nazanin's husband
Post by: Nearly Sane on February 16, 2025, 06:38:10 PM

I hope the UK govt are more effective on this than the ones when Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was being held but I'm struggling to understand why the couple thought the obvious risks were worth it.

My thoughts exactly.

The government's advice is don't go there.

If they had done a quick google they would have seen this message on Gov.uk:

You are at risk of arrest, detention and a death sentence if you travel to Iran.

Oh some people......

The couple should have known they were putting themselves in danger by going to Iran on their world tour. >:(
