I don’t know if it’s just me but this really is a scandal
This person clearly is a pawn in a game for the Iran government and the lack of serious response from the U.K. government is shameful
I also don’t want this to develop either into some argument about Johnson and his time as Foreign Secretary - no one on either side of the political divide seems to care.
The general public don’t seem to care. This is really a hostage situation and no one does anything. It’s a disgrace.
And what random charge will they come up with next?. I really fear for her if she has to serve the entirety of this extra year.
It seems there are a few different cases and Nazanin Radcliff isn't the only one being let down. I can't imagine what this is doing to the husband and daughter, the last time i saw him on tv i thought he looked terribly aged in comparison to a picture taken prior to her kidnapping, the stress must be intolerable. I understand Iran are doing this for leverage over a huge sum of money, what a vile way to conduct business.
The country is in economic ruin in large part down to the American sanctions applied by Trump, add in COVID and it’s a regime desperately trying to get money in from anywhere by whatever means.
Yes, i'd presume that desperation is probably a big factor in our apparent lack of leverage over them too. I don't really have any idea of how it could be fixed to be honest, total shitshow of a situation.
It will probably take a large bribe to be honest.
In all seriousness, the policy over a number of years of ot negotiating with terrorists etc. is probably the right one - don't want to encourage more. Maybe a relaxation of US policy towards Iran will help, however...The one thing you’d think Johnson would be good at sorting out.
It will probably take a large bribe to be honest.
Send them that owl lamp sitting in No.10It will probably take a large bribe to be honest.
Apparently the PM didn’t even arrange for British officials to be present at her latest court case. How can you not make this about Boris?

She was arrested before Trump came to office
Yes, but the changing dynamics mean they now have added reason to hold on to her
Visiting family. It’s the country of her birth IIRC.I hear her name mentioned on the news but why was she in the country?

What do you expect the opposition to do? Lisa Nandy has issued a statement as shadow foreign secretary actually using much of the same language you have and called for the foreign secretary to explain what they intend to do to address this. Not sure what more the opposition can do.
Not really it’s a hostage situation
You okay hun?Sigh.
God that is a grim thought.I have a feeling we havnt got a bloody clue what's happening in diplomatic circles.
If Terry Waite's situation is anything to go by, it could take a hell of a long time to get to a conclusion.
Brian Keenans book An evil cradling is a harrowing read.I have a feeling we havnt got a bloody clue what's happening in diplomatic circles.
