DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - A trial to present new charges against a British-Iranian woman detained for five years in Iran convened Sunday, her supporters said, casting uncertainty over her future following her release from prison.
DUBAI (Reuters) - British-Iranian aid worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was tried on a new charge of making propaganda against the system at Iran s Revolutionary court on Sunday, her lawyer said, one week after she completed a five-year jail sentence. British foreign minister Dominic Raab said the second trial was unacceptable and called on Iran to let Zaghari-Ratcliffe return to Britain. He said Iran had subjected her to a cruel and disgraceful ordeal . Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a project manager with the Thomson Reuters Foundation, was arrested in April 2016 and later convicted of plotting to overthrow the clerical establishment. Her family and the foundation, a charity that operates independently of media firm Thomson Reuters and its news subsidiary Reuters, deny the charge. The propaganda charge relates to her alleged participation in a rally in front of the Iranian Embassy in London in 2009 and giving interview to the BBC Persian TV channel at the same time, according to her lawyer Hojjat
