This has always been the case, biba70
As has been mentioned on the other thread where you mentioned it
Nothing to do with Priti Patel!
Oh, thank you Lucretzia
I was sure I said the same but couldn't see my post on this thread.
It's another thread.
This is not new, it has always been the case.
David Cameron did try to help Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe but there is, sadly, often little we can do if our citizens fall foul of other countries' disregard of the human rights we take for granted here.
Other than paying ransoms but, of course, that does put other British citizens in more danger when in such countries.
