TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Britain’s top diplomat has raised the case of a British-Iranian woman who has been detained in Iran for more than two years during his visit to the Islamic Republic.
The semi-official ISNA news agency on Tuesday quoted the Iranian Foreign Ministry as saying that Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt raised the case of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe with Iranian officials, without elaborating.
Hunt met Iran’s foreign minister and a top security official on Monday.
Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who worked for the charity arm of Thomson Reuters, was arrested in April 2016 on charges of plotting against the government. Her family denies the allegations.
