Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe: 'Readjusting to UK life was hard'
By Rebecca Cafe & PA NewsBBC News
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has said readjusting to life in the UK after Six Years in an Iranian jail had been slower than she had expected.
The British-Iranian national said protests and since her release had kept Her Story " fresh on a daily basis".
" I resonated very much with what they have gone through, " She Said .
Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe was arrested in Iran in 2016 on spying charges, which she denied.
She was released in March 2022 and returned to the UK following a sustained campaign.
Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe made the comments on Friday at Glastonbury Festival , where she was giving a talk about Iranian women's rights.
Asked what it has been like readjusting to life in the UK, She Said : " A lot slower than what I thought it would be.
" Just because early on when I was released, The Uprising in Iran happened. . since then I went through stories of many Other People who were arrested, And Then their stories came out. "
She discussed the impact of seeing unrest which centred on the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in September while in police custody for wearing her hijab too loosely.
" My story was all of a sudden so fresh on a daily basis and I couldn't get myself out of it - it was very hard, " she told The Audience .
" So I think settling down was a lot more complicated and difficult than what I was expecting because of what is happening.
" But , you know, I can't complain. I'm free and I'm out, whereas many of My Friends are still in prison. "
During The Talk , She Said The First names of The Friends she was still campaigning to free: Nilufar, Sepideh, Mahvash, Fariba, Morad, Siamak, Emaad and Nargess.
Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe, from West Hampstead in London, said she felt the continued unrest in Iran was no longer getting the attention it deserved.
" I think when this whole uprising happened back in September 2022, there was a lot of momentum, But then, of course, the World Moves on, " She Said .
'Head-in-the-sand'Her husband Richard Ratcliffe also commented on a on The Foreign Office's handling of hostage diplomacy.
It highlighted examples of " ministerial clumsiness" and " hurtful comments" in its communication with families.
Mr Ratcliffe described it as an important report.
" At The Moment , cases like Nazanin's are reasonably Rare . . But they're growing, and that growth is something that the government is not really dealing with, " He Said .
" The head-in-the-sand 'let's hope we keep this at a low level' [approach] and manage it like you would with a really Rare illness - it doesn't work.
" There are A Number of countries who are taking hostages, there aren't many that make the media, there aren't many that the government will acknowledge as hostages or even acknowledge as arbitrarily detained.
" We'll await to see whether the government says 'yes, Hands Up , we need to get better' or whether what we get is a 'we'll carry on what we're currently doing But we'll tweak around the edges'.
" I've had both in my Time . . so let's see what comes. "
The Foreign Office has been approached for comment.
Previously, it said: " The Best interests of British national detainees is at The Heart of our consular work and we support and work with their families wherever we can. "
