Nazanin has just pointed out that, since she was imprisoned in Iran the U.K. has had 5 ( (or is it 6?) foreign secretaries and that it shouldn’t have taken so long to secure her release. Is it normal for governments to have so many foreign secretaries in such a short space of time? Is it normal for a failed foreign secretary to then become PM. It could be argued that it’s due to the number of elections we’ve had, but that isn’t normal either. Are we just accepting/becoming complacent with things in politics that are just plain wrong?

you've missed the point that was made maddyone
did Terry get abuse when he returned home? and the others?

There was no social media back then. Nowadays there are people who feel they are quite within their rights to criticise a woman they do not know and a family they have never met on social media platforms. If I was Nazanin I wouldn't read a single word of the garbage these sad excuses for human beings spout. I hope she concentrates on herself, her husband, daughter and wider family and friends.
