Jailed Briton’s case ‘prejudiced’

- By RUSSELL JACKSON

The husband of jailed British mother Nazanin Zagharirat­cliffe has accused Iranian media of prejudicin­g his wife’s case after re-airing allegation­s against her.

Iranian state TV has broad- cast a programme showing pictures of a BBC pay stub and an e-mail from 2010 purporting to show she worked training journalist­s.

Mrs Zaghari-ratcliffe has been imprisoned in Tehran since April 2016.

She is serving a five-year sentence for allegedly planning the “soft toppling” of Iran’s government. Her husband, Richard Ratcliffe, said: “Everything about my experience to date with the Iranian court system has been that it has had little regard for due process.”
