During the early hours of Thursday morning 17th March 2022, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe arrived back home in the UK. She was freed after being held hostage in Iran for almost 6 years. She's a British citizen and a charity worker from West Hampstead, London. She was arrested by the Iranian IRGC on 3 April 2016 when she was on holiday in Tehran visiting her elderly parents with her one year old daughter, Gabriella. Almost six years later, three members of Nazanin's family were there to greet her at the Royal Air Force base when she landed – her husband Richard Ratcliffe who's campaigned tirelessly for her freedom and has been on this podcast many times, her now seven year old daughter Gabriella and Nazanin's younger brother, Mohammad Zaghari.Mohammad is one of the unsung heroes of the FreeNazanin campaign. He was in Tehran with Nazanin's parents when she was arrested. He helped raise Gabriella for the three years she was in Iran separated from both parents. He brought Gabriella back to the UK in 2019 and had to leave his entire life in Iran behind because it was no longer safe for him to return home. On this week's episode, we have the honour of speaking to Mohammad himself. He talks about Nazanin coming back home and what it was like to be reunited with her after all these years. Mohammad also talks about dealing with the Iranian authorities when Nazanin was taken, the trauma he experienced, visiting her in prison with Gabriella, the pressure the IRGC puts on the families, the threats, life in the UK, the long recovery journey ahead and what's next for him. We also talk about the other hostages left behind in Iran, going public and Richard's amazing campaigning. You'll also hear voice messages from the loved ones of Nahid Taghavi, Jamshid Sharmahd, Fariba Adelkhah and Kamran Ghaderi – all innocent individuals from Germany, France and Austria still held in Iran. Their loved ones talk about how happy they are for Nazanin and her family as well as what needs to be done to Free Nahid, Free Jamshid, Free Fariba and Free Kamran.Follow Pod Hostage Diplomacy on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to keep up to date with our work.Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/PodHostageDiplo)

On today's podcast we discuss how well police are coping with Extinction Rebellion demos as resources are diverted from other parts of the country. We also examine a renewed optimism as the Brexit deadline nears and Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's young daughter is reunited with her father as she returns to the UK while her mother remains in an Iranian jail.
Sophy sits down with the man likely to be the next Prime Minister - Boris Johnson. She quizzes him on his spending plans, Brexit, the case of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, and whether he has any plans to lock up his rivals. Plus Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell talks Brexit and anti-Semitism.
Boris Johnson has been ordered to appear in court over claims he lied and misled the public by saying the UK sent the EU £350m a week
