Holding vigil for freedom of British-Iranian women captive in Iran Evin Prison |
A Greenham church took part in a worldwide candle-lit vigil recently in support of a British-Iranian woman who remains in prison without charge in Tehran.
Newbury Today, 13 Aug 2016 - Charity worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, aged 37, who has connections to West Berkshire, was seized by security forces in the Iranian capital as she waited for a flight home with her husband Richard and daughter Gabriella in April.
No formal charges have been made and she is reportedly now in solitary confinement and under investigation for issues relating to “national security”.
A petition demanding she be release, set up by her husband, has since garnered nearly 800,000 signatures.
