During her detention, family and friends in the UK have long fought for her freedom, and during the global coronavirus pandemic she was granted temporary release. In late February 2020, Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe was reported to have contracted the disease as it spread through Iran and the Evin prison, but she was never tested. Weeks later, in mid-March, she was initially allowed to her parents’ home and the temporary furlough was later extended amid hopes she would be granted clemency. She has remained under house arrest at her parent’s Tehran home ever since. Richard Ratcliffe near his home in Hampstead, London (Aaron Chown/PA)
