Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s fresh jail term is a signal that Iran will detain her until the UK resolves a long-running debt dispute with Tehran, her husband has said.
Richard Ratcliffe said on Monday he fears his wife is facing an “open-ended detention” after she was sentenced to an additional year’s imprisonment and a further year-long ban on leaving Iran.
Mr Ratcliffe said the development “hit us hard”, with the British-Iranian charity worker having already completed a five-year sentence on widely-denied allegations levied by Iranian authorities.
Her lawyer Hojjat Kermani said she received the second sentence on a charge of spreading “propaganda against the system” for participating in a protest in front of the Iranian Embassy in London in 2009.
