Iran says UK’s diplomatic protection for Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe ‘towards global regulation’

Share

Iran has replied to Britain’s selection to grant Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe diplomatic protection, calling it unlawful.

The charity worker, who’s serving a prison sentence in Tehran for “espionage,” changed into the day gone by prolonged the safety – the first such time inside the UK’s current records – in a sparkling try to cozy her release.

Hamid Baeidinejad, Iran’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, tweeted in response that the Government’s important decision “contravened global regulation.”

“Governments may also only exercise such safety for their very own nationals,” he stated. “As the UK government is acutely aware, Iran no longer understands dual nationality. Irrespective of UK residency, Ms. Zaghari, therefore, remains Iranian (sic).”

Mrs. Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a twin British-Iranian countrywide residing in London, and her husband Richard and daughter Gabriella, were arrested all through a family trip to Tehran in 2016.

The trouble of citizenship has created an impasse between the two countries and has meant Mrs. Zaghari-Ratcliffe has been denied British consular assistance.

The move could give ammunition to hardliners in Iran, who have usually claimed she was spying for the British government. Mrs. Zaghari-Ratcliffe, 40, who was working with the Thomson Reuters Foundation, has continually denied all allegations in opposition to her.
