A BRITISH woman jailed in Iran since 2016 may be granted a temporary release following an outbreak of coronavirus in the prison where she is being held, her MP has said.
Meanwhile Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s MP tweeted: “News from Iranian Ambassador that my constituent Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe may be released on furlough today or tomorrow from prison in Iran."If this furlough happens, the British government has an obligation to make it permanent, and not let her be used as a bargaining chip in the weeks to come.
