the labour mp tulip siddiq, who is nazanin's constituency mp, says she has spoken to nazanin and that had her ankle tag removed, meaning she could not believe her parents�* house where she has been for the last year under house arrest. however, the bad news is that she has to go back to court next week so i think it's a bit optimistic to say she has been released, she has been released of the ankle tag, meaning she can go to her elderly grandmother which is the thing she mentions every time i speak to her but she does have to go back to court and we don't know what awaits her there. find back to court and we don't know what awaits her there.— awaits her there. and here the other court appearance. — awaits her there. and here the other court appearance, do _ awaits her there. and here the other court appearance, do we _ awaits her there. and here the other court appearance, do we know - awaits her there. and here the other court appearance, do we know what | court appearance, do we know what that charges on how serious it is? we don't know at this point but what i can say is that is qui

"we want our money back, we want the debt, it hasn't been settled." and here we are at the end of nazanin�*s prison sentence, which was unfair in the first place, but it's illegal under british law, it's illegal under iranian law, illegal under international... every kind of law you want. we have to face the facts that needs to be sorted. right now, i don't have an answer as to what we'll get home. we've just gone past what was the worst th

i mean, nazanin�*s been counting down to this day for a very long time.h after, and even when she had come out, is that the worst—case scenario would be i'll be coming home on march 7th, and that would be when it's over. and as we've got close to that, that's felt less sure. now she's not... i mean, really, quite, quite wobbly and stressed and anxious and fearing all sorts of things. for gabriella, it probably means another broken promise. and none of you ever imagined it would go on this long? i remember thinking that, "there's just no way it's going to last five years." and now to be sitting here and actually, five years would be good outcome. we'd take that at this point because it could be six, or seven, or whatever. is she supposed to come out? no, she's supposed to come back, that's right. but is she gonna? i'm not sure, if i'm honest. richard says iran's holding his wife hostage. it wants britain to repay a long—standing debt and his family is caught in a political game of chess. as they wait for the next move, nazanin�*s being painting her hope th
