Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe finally heading back to UK
 
Some good news.

Quote:
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, the British-Iranian woman detained in Iran nearly six years ago, has been freed and is on her way to the UK, her MP has said.

The 43-year-old was arrested in 2016 and accused of plotting to overthrow the Iranian government, which she denied.

Tulip Siddiq MP tweeted that Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe was at the airport in Tehran.

She had been under house arrest and was given her UK passport back this week.

Her husband Richard Ratcliffe, who lives with their six-year-old daughter Gabriella in Hampstead, London, had campaigned for her release, including by going on hunger strike in October last year.

Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe's sister-in-law Rebecca Ratcliffe told BBC News it was an "emotional day".

"It feels like we're on the home run now but until she leaves that airport we can't believe it," she said.

She said Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe had been picked up and taken to the airport with her parents, who were not allowed in the room with her because she was "still under Iranian control in the airport".

Reuters has also snapped this.

THIRD BRITISH-IRANIAN MORAD TAHBAZ FREED FROM IRAN JAIL ON FURLOUGH - IRNA

The IRNA is the Islamic Repubic News Agency.

Tahbaz, a British-American businessman born in Hammersmith, London, who also has Iranian citizenship. As my colleague Patrick Wintour writes, Tahbaz, a conservationist, was sentenced along with eight others to 10 years in jail in November 2019 for “contacts with the US enemy government”. The British foreign secretary, Liz Truss, has tweeted frequently in support of his innocence, an acknowledgement that he is a British consular case.

Paying a ligitamate debt is a ransom?

Iran's Shah paid up front for 1,750 Chieftain tanks and other vehicles, only 189 tanks were delivered.

Quote:
After years of private negotiations, in 1990 Iran made a claim for its money back for the undelivered weaponry by taking the UK to international arbitration in The Hague. The UK made a counterclaim in 1996, but in an arbitration in 2001 the UK lost both claims. Iran then sought to have the award enforced in the English courts, something Britain resisted until IMS in 2002 put £350m into the UK court as security. The UK, after getting the award’s size reduced once in The Hague finally seemed to have run out of options when its final appeal was dismissed in 2009.

Of course not, but if I agree to sell you a car, and to be fair you pay me for it. Then before I deliver it to you, someone attacks you when you’re walking home from the pub and beats you to death and robs your house and bank accounts.

Then claims that the car should be his because he now has your house and bank accounts, I’m not going to be inclined to give the car to you.

Except this debt wasn’t owed to an individual, but to the State of Iran, and while we may not initially have recognised the revolutionaries as the legitimate government of Iran, it has been many years since we did. It might have seemed to have been a principled moral stand to keep the money and the tanks out of the hands of the mad mullahs, but at the same time we ought to have been more alive to the risks they posed. The clue’s in the name.

While I admit it might be in poor taste to even ask this, I do wonder what travel advice for British citizens was in place in 2016 and whether the lady in question was known to be at greater risk being a dual national. Obviously she’s never now going to go back to Iran. I wonder whether she really ought to have gone back even in 2016.

It wasn't his car either then and they didn't kill him, they deposed him because he was a murderous, torturing, tyrant who killed up to 100000 people a year for disagreeing with him besides which they didn't want the car, they wanted the counties money back

Indeed, the UK government's hands are clean here, the Iranians should have written that money off the moment winning arbitration, two court victories and overcoming the numerous obstacles placed by a UK government department proved fruitless.

This was so needless and that poor woman and her family should never have suffered this.

Since the UK lost its legal case to not pay the monies in 2009, then yes I do blame this Government.

Quote:
The new defence secretary Ben Wallace, who as a backbencher campaigned for the payment of the debt, also secured a breakthrough when he was given authority to write in September 2020 to the lawyers of Richard Ratcliffe, the husband of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, to say that the UK had a debt that had to be paid.
I shouldn't be surprised that you do not blame this Government's deliberate policy of not repaying a legally sanctioned debt and so prolonging the imprisonment of an innocent woman.

I wonder if we can use that excuse in the UK when we have a change of government - nowt to do with us mate, it was them lot on the opposition benches who borrowed it. I suppose it would stop our national debt getting bigger as no-one would lend us anything else, well maybe Iran would as they know how good we are for the money!

The only people responsible for this woman’s ordeal and prolonging it, was Iran, who arrested her on dubious charges and then sentenced her on zero evidence. To then use an historical debt as ransom, for her release.

Bit pathetic really to consistently, have-a-go, at this government, as usual, because of, shock horror, they are guilty as charged for everything, because this really persistently stems to complete and utter venomous hatred of all things, Brexit.

Because they already had prepared to do it but couldn't complete the transfer I think? This story is from April 2010, shortly before the election

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...m-1952972.html

Quote:
The Independent can reveal that Britain is to pay back nearly £400m to Iran’s defence ministry after finally admitting defeat in the dispute in a move that will be heralded by Tehran as a major diplomatic triumph while it continues its international brinkmanship with the West over its nuclear ambitions.

Financial restrictions imposed by the European Union on Iranian banks, which freeze any of Tehran’s assets held abroad, mean that Iran will not be able to access the funds. They will instead be held in a trust account overseen by independent trustees. The money will join £976m of Iranian assets already frozen in Britain.
Quote:
The MoD insisted that the pay out will not come from its own stretched budget. In anticipation of a defeat as far back as 2002, Britain paid nearly £486m into the High Court to meet the cost of any settlement.

Ranting about Brexit does not change the facts. She could have been freed years ago if the UK had paid the legally sanctioned debt.

Do you think that the UK government in power after 2009 should have paid the then legally acknowledged debt? Ben Wallace certainly thought so in 2020 ..

The most recent IMS (International military services) report states that the company has saved 30 million quid by defending this and getting the bill reduced, seeing as that's government owned perhaps that's the place to start for compensation, they've and by extension we have profited by her continued imprisonment
