I hope and pray she stays out. Good news.

Officially it’s for two weeks and she’s tagged. She’s worth too much to the Iranians imo for them to release her properly. I’d be very surprised if she’s able to come home but it must be bittersweet for her to be with her parents atm and be physically more comfortable and safe.

I can never forgive Boris Johnson for his ill informed blabber when he was Foreign Secretaray that as made this woman's ordealso much worse.

I wanted to say that MOnica but I would have incurred such wrath ??

I hope this is the first step to freedom for this poor woman. Her husband doesn't sound convinced that she will be ultimately set free. I hope he is wrong.

So pleased to hear this tiny bit of good news for them. Surely it will be worse when she has to go back?

Well it’s a small step in the right direction, hopefully.
