Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe: ‘If anything our love has gone a lot deeper’

In an exclusive interview with Emma Barnett for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4’s Womans Hour, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe tells her own story in full for the first time. She pays tribute to her husband Richard Ratcliffe who campaigned tirelessly for her release.

Nazanin was arrested in 2016 after visiting her parents in Iran with her 21-month-old daughter Gabriella, on her way back to Britain. For the next six years, the charity project manager was detained by the Iranian regime. Her husband Richard mounted a tireless campaign to free his wife, including going on hunger strike twice.

In March this year, she was finally allowed home and was reunited with her husband and daughter.
