The husband of UK charity worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who has been detained for more than 5 years in Iran, has gone on a hunger strike again after a court decided she has to spend another year in prison.
He plans to maintain a “constant vigil” by sleeping in a tent outside the building’s main entrance in an effort to pressure Prime Minister Boris Johnson to secure the release of his wife and other detained dual British-Iranian nationals, Amnesty International said.
In May, she was sentenced to an additional year in prison on charges of spreading “propaganda against the system” for having participated in a protest outside the Iranian Embassy in London in 2009 — a decision upheld this month by an appeals court. The verdict includes a one-year travel ban, meaning she wouldn’t be able to leave Iran until 2023.
“We are now giving the U.K. government the same treatment. In truth, I never expected to have to do a hunger strike twice. It is not a normal act,” Ratcliffe said on hisHe said Iran remains the “primary abuser” in Nazanin’s case, but the “U.K. is also letting us down.”
