Answer
Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe was arrested on 3 April 2016 as she was returning to the UK from a family holiday in Iran. She was sentenced to five years in prison. In 2017, two appeals against her conviction were rejected. We will continue to take action on all our dual national cases in line with what we believe will produce the best outcomes in their cases.
