Proceeding contribution from Janet Daby (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 December 2020. It occurred during Debate on Government Policy on Iran.
Government Policy on Iran
My constituent, Mr Anoosheh Ashoori, was captured some three years ago while visiting his sick mother in Tehran, and has since been held in prison under really brutal conditions, which have included solitary confinement and physical torture. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that British citizens such as Mr Ashoori who are subject to unjust trial are being held as hostages due to their dual nationality, and that the UK Government must acknowledge them as such?
