Thank you for contacting me about Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and other British nationals unjustly trapped in Iran.
My thoughts are with Nazanin and her family. Like you, I want to see her and indeed all other dual nationals detained, released immediately.
I can assure you that the Foreign Office continues to work hard to assist British nationals detained in Iran, and engages with the families of those detained on a regular basis. Support is available to them 24 hours a day seven days a week. I know this issue is a top priority for the Foreign Secretary.
I have immense sympathy for Nazanin, Richard and their young daughter. One struggles to imagine how difficult Nazanin's unjust and ongoing detention is for them as a family. I completely understand the actions Richard is taking. As I have said, the Foreign Secretary has spoken with Nazanin and Richard and her department continues to do everything it can to secure Nazanin's release, and indeed of all British dual nationals arbitrarily detained in Iran. Since his hunger strike started, Richard has met the Foreign Secretary, Minister Cleverly and senior officials.
Liz Truss spoke to her Iranian counterpart on Monday 8 November, raising Nazanin's case and indeed that of all British nationals unfairly detained in Iran. Foreign Office officials met with the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister on 11 November, including to press firmly for the immediate release of unfairly detained British nationals.
