Delighted she is home

Sky said that an outstanding debt from the seventies had been settled just recently leading to her release


Have they now set a precedent ???

But settling the debt has triggered her release so it’s not that dissimilar, surely

iran waited 50 years nearly to get their money back, they resorted to trumped up charges, but the uk is hardly blameless

I have my doubts that it had anything to do with her release really other than in passing - incoming Iranian oil deal perhaps? I can see the conversation going thus;

"We want to make middle east oil deals cos Russia"

"Sure. But you have to pay us back that money you've owed us forever and keep refusing to repay."

"SIGH. Fine, we'll repay your money. WAIT... you have to release Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe as well since you previously said you'd do that if we paid it back."

"...Deal"

Yes, I think there will have also been a swop of some kind... someone who I suspect is much more of a threat than Nazanin will be leaving here.

No one gives/gave a **** about Anoosheh Ashoori. The sexism and racism of it all.

To be fair, if we were going to pay this 40 year old debt, we could have paid it 6 years ago to save her and her family 6 years of anguish.

Instead, shes been treated like a compounded car.

timing is always important in these things. Basically the stars aligned to make it possible now where it wasnt possible previously

the bottom line is that iran falsely imprisoned someone on false charges. That is entirely irans responsibility. A country is judged by its actions toward people, it's humanity, and in that it failed miserably
