About this listen
Richard Ratcliffe, whose wife Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was detained by the Iranian authorities for six years, joins host Tom Tugendhat MP to discuss his campaign to free his wife, and whether the family’s case ‘moved the dial fundamentally’ for state hostages.
In the second part of the episode, fellow parliamentarians Tulip Siddiq, the family’s local Labour MP Labour for Hampstead and Kilburn, and Royston Smith, Conservative MP for Southampton, who also sits on the Foreign Affairs Committee, discuss what more Parliament can do to prevent innocent British citizens being caught up in big power politics through no fault of their own.
