Husband of British-Iranian Hostage on Hunger Strike

November 13th marked the 21st day of Richard Ratcliffe's hunger strike aimed at pressuring the British government to fight to free his wife, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, from her arbitrary detention by Iranian authorities. In 2016, Nazanin was accused of espionage by the Islamic Republic of Iran and sentenced to five years imprisonment after she visited the country to see relatives. Zaghari-Ratcliffe is one of several incarcerated Iranian dual-citizens that are essentially held as hostages and used as political bargaining chips by Iran in its fight against western countries. She completed her sentence on March 7th, 2021, yet was suspiciously given additional charges and a second prison sentence, making it impossible for her to return to her husband and daughter in the United Kingdom. Ratcliffe is deeply disillusioned by the actions of his government, calling Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s lack of strategy “managed waiting." Thus far, there have been no firm commitments from the British government to step up their efforts to ensure the return of Nazanin.
