Presence of Nazanin Zaghari’s husband outside Iran embassy 'intimidating and insulting': Envoy
Iran’s UK ambassador Hamid Baeidinejad says the presence of the British husband of imprisoned dual British-Iranian citizen, Nazanin Zaghari, outside the embassy has been intimidating.
Richard Ratcliffe, camped outside the embassy and began a protest last weekend to call for the release of her wife, who is serving a five-year term in Iran on espionage charges.
Baeidinejad said the presence of Ratcliffe, who is being visited by a group of other people outside the building, is “intimidating and insulting”.
“His presence is disrupting the work of the embassy and apparently what he has in mind is a campaign of pressure against the embassy.” he added.
Baeidinejad expressed “sympathy with him” saying, “We are sorry about this situation, but this situation has occurred by the wrongdoing of a national lady and she has a verdict of five years in prison.”
He said Ratcliffe was free to go to the embassy and apply for a visa to travel to Iran.
Earlier this week, Baeidinejad rejected claims by Radcliffe that he has been denied a visa to go to Iran to see his wife in prison.
