Nazanin sentenced to ANOTHER year in Iranian prison – this is what happens when you ask a Tory for help

Last Updated: April 26, 2021By Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe: this wrongly-jailed woman has become a pawn in an international power struggle.

This poor woman might have been freed years ago if Boris Johnson hadn’t become involved and said the wrong thing at every opportunity.

For clarity:

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has been sentenced to a further year in prison and a one-year travel ban after being found guilty of propaganda against the regime in Iran.

Her lawyer said she was accused of taking part in a protest in London 12 years ago and speaking to the BBC Persian service.

Johnson was asked to help arrange the release of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe when he was Foreign Secretary, way back in 2017 after she was first imprisoned in Iran on a false charge of sedition.

Idiot that he is, our current prime minister botched it to such an extent that she was told she may face new charges.

Now she has been convicted – again.

Nazanin’s husband Richard now believes that she is a pawn in negotiations over £400 million owed by the UK to Iran after a former ruler of that country, the Shah, paid for tanks that were never delivered because of the 1979 revolution in that country.

The current issue seems to be about interest payable on the debt. Johnson doesn’t want to pay the figure demanded by Iran, one expects.

I wrote last month that I don’t think Johnson cares what happens to Nazanin – he’d rather keep the cash.

That opinion can only be strengthened by the recent claim that he said he would rather see “bodies piled high in their thousands” than order another economic lockdown that harmed business profits.

    Little fascist dictator dick johnson has so much blood on his hands – but he doesn’t care because he will never be punished! Fascist callous dick johnson is responsible for the continuing imprisonment of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and typical tory response is refusal to pay the Iranian government their rightful money!

    No way will the greedy criminal fascist tories give a cent to the Iranian government and poor Ms. Zaghari-Ratcliffe can die because she too is a non-human disposable commodity!

    Shame on the despicable and callous, cruel fascist tories!
