Richard Ratcliffe to @BorisJohnson in 2017 (thread): "Your mistake in saying that Nazanin was in Iran training journalists – as opposed to the reality: that she was there on holiday with our daughter Gabriella, visiting her family – has raised the stakes for my wife. Your words

@BorisJohnson are being used against her by Tehran to rationalise her imprisonment and as grounds for a new court case against her. She was on the news in Iran again..the broadcaster repeated..that you had ‘revealed’ Nazanin’s so-called crimes. The net effect of that is that she is in danger."
