Be glad to. Well not glad to because this should never have happened.
Praying that this lovely family are reunited soon. Bless them

Notreallyarsed · 27/12/2017 20:56

What Awwlook said, with bells on. I sincerely hope that she is reunited with her family soon.

hmmwhatatodo · 27/12/2017 20:57

Her name is Nazanin by the way. Agree with your sentiments though! Wishing she is released any moment.

honeysucklejasmine · 27/12/2017 20:58

Has there been an update on her situation?

RoderickRules · 27/12/2017 20:58

I’m in

ScouseQueen · 27/12/2017 21:00

In. I've been following her situation for over a year now since reading an Amnesty report about her.

I've asked for the spelling in the thread title to be corrected.

ScouseQueen · 27/12/2017 21:02

Last I read was the announcement from Iran that she was now eligible for early release. That prompted a flurry of hope that she might get home for Christmas, but no more developments yet.

Showergel1 · 27/12/2017 21:03

Been following her story closely in the Guardian. Must have been a nightmare having Bojo go over there to 'fight' her cause but her husband seems to be very stoic. I'd have been in despair.

PerpendicularVincent · 27/12/2017 21:03

I so hope she is released soon.

AnneLovesGilbert · 27/12/2017 21:04

I’m in. My heart goes out to her, her parents, her daughter and her brave husband, all the people fighting for them. Hope they’re reunited soon.

ButchyRestingFace · 27/12/2017 21:05

Here’s hoping she gets released for January 1st. 🤞🙏

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 27/12/2017 21:06

I’m in.

ChasedByBees · 27/12/2017 21:07

I'm praying she gets released soon and their family can be reunited.

teaandakitkat · 27/12/2017 21:07

I'm in. I hope she's free soon. It must be hideous for her and her family.

Tistheseason17 · 27/12/2017 21:13

I'm in. Nice thread x

Hygge · 27/12/2017 21:14

I really hope she's home soon.

This entire time must have been a living nightmare for her and her family.

Much love to them all.

onalongsabbatical · 27/12/2017 21:20

Most definitely. Poor woman. Heart-breaking. Makes me so sick to live on the same planet as anyone who can do this to the innocent mother of a small and innocent child.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 27/12/2017 21:23

I'm in, too.

This woman should never have been imprisoned.

Praying for her release, her physical, mental and spiritual health, and for her family who must be worried to distraction.

brizzledrizzle · 27/12/2017 21:24

Apparently, instead of releasing Nazanin, the government confirmed that they were going to uphold the death sentence on an Iranian-Swedish (?) scientist because they suspected him of working with Mossad - as if a scientist with dual nationality who had worked fpr Mossad would take up a job at Tehran University.

My father used to work in Iran, I'm so glad that he doesn't any more.

Doobigetta · 27/12/2017 21:26

I'm in, I've been following this story since someone first posted about it here. I hope Nazanin is freed and reunited with her family very soon Flowers

I'm in. My heart goes out to her and her family. Her daughter isn't much older than my son and I can't bear to imagine what it feels like to be separated, and the impact it will have on the whole family.

Fishface77 · 27/12/2017 21:37

I'm in.
Hope she's home soon x

ThisIsSylviaDaisyPouncer · 27/12/2017 22:30

I’m in too. My heart goes out to her and her family. Flowers

scrabbler3 · 27/12/2017 22:35

I'm in.

I've got a good feeling about this. I think she'll be home very soon. She has an amazing family awaiting her.
