(FILES) An undated handout image released by the Free Nazanin campaign in London on June 10, 2016 shows Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe (L) posing for a photograph with her daughter Gabriella. – The release of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a UK-Iraninan dual national held in Tehran, could be in doubt, her husband Richard Ratcliffe told the BBC on March 6, 2021, a day before the end of her five-year jail term. Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who was detained in Iran in 2016, is due to be released on March 7, 2021, the official end of a sentence over charges she plotted to overthrow the regime in Tehran. Nazanin, now 42, has strenuously denied the accusations with her case becoming a matter of major diplomatic disagreement between Britain and Iran during the five years she has spent separated from her husband and young daughter.

“It is unacceptable that Iran has chosen to continue a second wholly arbitrary case against Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe,” Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab wrote on Twitter.
