On March 16th, British-Iranian nationals Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori, after years of politically motivated detention in Iran, were released. Both were arrested and detained for several years following questionable accusations of espionage and charges against Iran's security. The two have consistently denied any of the allegations. Iran accused Nazanin, a charity worker, of "leading a foreign-linked hostile network." She was detained in Iran for nearly 6 years. Ashoori, a 67-year old retired civil engineer, was arrested in August 2017 during a family visit to Iran. He was accused of spying for Israel's Mossad intelligence agency despite living in the United Kingdom for 20 years and was sentenced to ten years imprisonment. Nazanin’s husband, Richard Ratcliffe, garnered media attention from his multiple lengthy hunger strikes and other high-visibility protests that pressured the British government to force Iran to release his wife. They were finally reunited with their families in the UK on March 17th. The Irainan government has become notorious for arresting individuals with dual-citizenship, like Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Ashoori, accusing them of espionage, and using them as political bargaining chips on the international stage in a clear pattern of “hostage diplomacy.”
