Members of our Strasbourg local committee meet Richard Ratcliffe and take the floor at the European Parliament, 16th January 2020
Members of our Strasbourg local committee met with Richard Ratcliffe, husband of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe a British-Iranian citizen. Nazanin was a Thomson Reuters Foundation charity worker when she was arrested in Iran since 3 April 2016 and sentenced in early September 2016 to five years’ imprisonment allegedly for “plotting to topple the Iranian government”.
Richard invited us to join him at a meeting of European parliamentarians, part of which was on human rights in Iran. Richard Ratcliffe was invited by British MP Luisa Porrit to speak about the situation of his wife. The members of our local committee also took the floor. They reported on the situation of Fariba and Roland, and called for a European common front to obtain the immediate and unconditional release of Fariba, Roland and all prisoners arbitrarily detained in Iran.
