Free at last: Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Ashoori head back to
UK after six-year ordeal
A six-year ordeal for the British-Iranian prisoners Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe
and Anoosheh Ashoori has finally ended after they were released by Iran and
freed to return home to be reunited with their families.
A third dual national accused of spying, the businessman and wildlife
conservationist Morad Tahbaz, was freed from prison on furlough, but his family
said he feels abandoned in Iran by the British government.
News of the two detainees’ release, the subject of months-long behind-the-scenes
diplomacy and payment of a £400m debt, was formally announced by the foreign
secretary, Liz Truss.
Zaghari-Ratcliffe, 43, and Ashoori, 67, were released from the control of the
Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps just before noon UK time at Tehran
international airport before being flown to Oman and then on to an RAF base,
where they are to be greeted by their relatives and Truss.
Nazanin’s husband, Richard Ratcliffe, standing beside their smiling
seven-year-old daughter, Gabriella, said he was looking forward to becoming a
normal family again. His wife’s greatest ambition after a period of recuperation
was to sit down on the sofa, make a cup of tea and just be in the living room
together, he said, adding: “Homecoming is a journey and not an arrival.”
Zaghari-Ratcliffe was arrested in 2016 in Tehran after working as a charity
project manager. Ashoori, a retired civil engineer, was in prison for almost
five years, while Tahbaz has been held for four. All three denied charges of
spying.
Speaking in the Commons on Wednesday, Truss said their release was “the result
of years of tenacious British diplomacy”. The UK finally struck the deal after
the paying a decades-old debt via a Swiss humanitarian channel. Britain says it
has guarantees that the money will be used only for food and medical purposes.
In a dramatic day of tense emotions, Iranian state media reported that Zaghari-Ratcliffe
and Ashoori had been handed over to a British team on Wednesday but a two-hour
delay at Tehran’s airport suggested a last-minute hitch, largely over the fate
of Tahbaz.
Iran is treating Tabhaz, 66, as an American citizen, even though he was born in
Hammersmith, west London, and holds US, UK and Iranian citizenship.
Disagreements over his fate proved an obstacle to a deal in the past.
The Tahbaz family told the Guardian: “We have been let down and betrayed by the
British government. He was the only one of the three with a British birth
certificate, and he has been left behind. We were not told about this
arrangement except in a short phone call with the foreign secretary, when it was
too late to do anything about it. The British now just say he is an American
problem.”
Truss said the UK would “continue to push with partners” to secure Tahbaz’s
“long overdue” release home. She praised the resolve and courage shown by the
detainees and their families.
The shadow foreign secretary, David Lammy, criticised Boris Johnson as he
praised Truss, telling MPs: “She showed more skills in diplomacy than her
bungling boss.”
Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s MP, Tulip Sidiq, welcomed her home. “Can I say to Nazanin:
welcome home after six long years. And can I say to Gabriella: this time mummy
is really coming home.” Paying tribute to Richard Ratcliffe, who undertook a
21-day hunger strike last year, she said: “He has really set the bar high for
husbands.”
The former prime minister David Cameron, who was in No 10 when Zaghari-Ratcliffe
was detained in Iran, told Channel 4 News her release was “a piece of good news
that we’ve all been waiting to hear for so long”.
The UK is understood to have agreed to pay £393.8m owed to Iran after it
cancelled an order of Chieftain tanks following the overthrow of the Shah in the
revolution of 1979. The details of the deal were hammered out in secret talks in
February largely in Oman between a British Foreign Office team and the Iranians.
With trust between the two countries at a low point, every aspect of the deal,
including its choreography, had to be agreed.
