MPS must ‘speak out’ over Brits jailed in Iran

Campaigners hope “disturbing” findings about Iran’s human rights record will “jolt” the UK government into doing more to free British-iranians jailed in Tehran.

Foreign Office minister Alistair Burt is visiting Iran this week and is expected to raise the cases of dual national detainees including Nazanin Zaghariratcliffe and 77-year-old grandfather Kamal Foroughi.

Amnesty International UK says a new report highlighting fresh human rights concerns should prompt UK officials to speak “loud and clear” about the need to free Ms Zaghari-ratcliffe and Mr Foroughi. Pressure has been increasing on Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson to do more.
