I've been following this case for a while; it's so sad. Could we do something - a woolly hug or some yarn bombing? Someone has posted in the 'In The News' topic, saying it's Nazanin's 'wool' wedding anniversary coming up.

Would anyone be up for doing something?

Unfortunately, there's been a very disappointing update on Nazanin's case:

"An FCO spokesman said: “We are aware of reports that Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s appeal has been decided and are urgently seeking clarification.”"

Oh no. Awful.

KnottyAndPistey · 23/01/2017 09:44

Despair for them all, saw this on BBC news last night, Richard looked broken

The government must demand that Iran release Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe
Hear, hear.

Marcipex · 29/03/2017 13:31

What can we do?

Latest update on Nazanin...

MrsHathaway · 12/11/2017 23:57

Following the Foreign Secretary's dreadful cockup last weekend the BBC reports that Nazanin is in poor health.

I know many WHers are of a prayerful disposition and might add her to their lists. Others might like to send positive thoughts, or indeed bombard the Foreign Office with pressure!

BJ is such a cock and I know the increased coverage is due to him, but really hoping now it can be a force for change, get momentum going. It's just hideous, thought such a lot about her

Marcipex · 21/12/2017 14:03

It looks as if just maybe there is hopeful news. Everybody cross everything.

KnottyAndPistey · 21/12/2017 15:24

Oh my god just seen this all over the news, wouldn't this be wonderful, gone completely goosebumped

Literally everything crossed here too

ChippingInLovesWoollyHugs · 30/03/2018 17:48

Okki. Thanks for the link. I can’t believe how big her little girl is now, they’ve all missed out on so much, it’s heartbreaking.

I don’t understand why Boris-The-Twat wasn’t fired...I’m amazed Richard has managed to keep his cool. I expect he’s trying the more bees with honey approach. He has more patience with fools than I do. Thankfully. I hope she gets to come home soon, but sadly, even when she does, their lives will never be normal and they can’t make up for what they’ve lost.

KnottyAndPistey · 05/04/2018 13:58

She seemed so close

MrsHathaway · 26/05/2018 14:17

More bad news today. Richard speaking calmly and with dignity on BBC News.

Keeping all the family in our thoughts 💞

Marcipex · 14/07/2018 14:14

Thinking of Nazanin.

Marcipex · 23/08/2018 15:39

Better news today.

Okki · 23/08/2018 17:02

It's made me cry. Did you see the picture of her with her daughter.

Mhw02 · 24/08/2018 08:19

Let's hope this will turn into a full release!

Marcipex · 24/08/2018 11:05

Everything crossed for them.

KnottyAndPistey · 26/08/2018 13:09

Have been away, but saw this online, that PHOTO of them together, ohhh, here's hoping

bilbodog · 26/08/2018 13:50

Beautiful photo of them - thinking of the family and hoping theyvsend her home to uk asap.

KnottyAndPistey · 26/08/2018 14:09

Let's have this here, although news re whats happening at the end of this mini release is not looking great, still hoping though
