Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe at Parliament as she prepares to speak for first time since release

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has today been seen arriving at Parliament as she prepares to give her first broadcast interview since being freed from imprisonment in Iran.

The British-Iranian national, 44, was reunited with her husband Richard and daughter Gabriella on Thursday morning at Brize Norton after ‘six years of hell’ languishing in a jail in Tehran.

Today her and husband Richard Ratcliffe, who tirelessly campaigned for the Government to ensure her safe return to the UK, will be making short statements during a media event at Parliament.

It will be chaired by her local MP Tulip Siddiq – who worked for years to get her constituent out of Iran. The Labour MP posted a smiling photo of her and Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe on Sunday.

Ahead of the media event, Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe was seen arriving at Portcullis House  with the Hampstead MP, her husband Richard and their two children. 

Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, will hold a short private meeting with her, Richard and Ms Siddiq, prior to the press conference.

It comes after the MP shared an image of her and the charity volunteer following her return to the UK last week.

She said: ‘We can’t stop smiling!! Incredible to have my brave constituent Nazanin back home. She’s eternally grateful to all of you for campaigning so hard for her release.’

When Nazanin the television cameras crowded outside the family’s North London house waiting to capture her much anticipated return home were sorely disappointed to discover the family had instead been whisked away to a safehouse. 

The safehouse in question was in fact Dorneywood – an 18th century mansion sat on a sprawling estate which includes a swimming pool, croquet lawn and 215 acres of lush green woodland, the Telegraph reported.

Typically used by Chancellors of the Exchequer, the grace-and-favour home is owned by the National Trust and the Prime Minister can permit any member of the government to occupy it.

Some of the home’s previous occupants are current Chancellor Rishi Sunak, Health Secretary Sajid Javid, and former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott – who famously enjoyed a game of croquet on the front lawn.

The family enjoyed two days of peace at the mansion, with Nazanin and Richard getting reacquainted before cooking pizza in the industrial-size kitchen with seven-year-old Gabriella.

But the family are yet to return to their West Hampstead home, and were yesterday relocated to another safehouse, location undisclosed.

A smiling picture of Gabriella and her mother cooking up a pizza in Dorneywood’s huge kitchen was shared on social media by Richard Ratcliffe and swiftly reposted by the family’s local MP, Labour’s Tulip Siddiq, who has also campaigned relentlessly for Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s freedom. 

Siddiq tweeted: ‘Nazanin told me that this is what she missed most while she was imprisoned – every day moments with her little girl. Today was Gabriella’s choice of making homemade pizzas for lunch’. 

But the pair were asked to take the images down by Foreign Office officials over fears their location could be compromised.

The family have now been moved on to another undisclosed location with the family of 67-year-old Anoosheh Ashoori, who was also released alongside Nazanin earlier this week.  

Nazanin landed back on British soil in the early hours of Thursday, along with fellow dual national Ashoori, after the UK finally agreed to settle a long-standing debt to Iran.

The 44-year-old was detained on security charges in 2016 by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard at Imam Khomeini airport after a holiday to Iran during which she introduced her daughter to her parents.

She was accused of plotting to overthrow the Iranian government.

Ashoori, 67, was arrested in August 2017 while visiting his elderly mother in Tehran. He was detained in Evin prison for almost five years, having been accused of spying.

Both have consistently and vigorously denied the allegations.

Their release came after months of intensive diplomatic negotiations between London and Tehran.

Mr Ratcliffe, who campaigned tirelessly for his wife’s release and was instrumental in securing her freedom, told the Times that Nazanin would like to focus on being a full-time mother in the immediate future but that she has not ruled out returning to a campaigning role.

He told the newspaper: ‘People come out with an extra will to make up for lost time and to stop others having to battle against the bad guys that they feel are responsible.

‘And that can take different directions. While I’m sure she’s happy, I can’t tell where her head will be in six months. I’m sure she’s feeling a lot less angry today than she was a week ago. There’s nothing like freedom for changing your perspective.’

Nazanin’s neighbours told MailOnline that she cannot wait to return home and take Gabrielle to school for the first time like any other mother. 

Her parents-in-law John and Barbara have joked that their son’s North London home needs to be cleaned up urgently because it is in an ‘appalling’ state after years of living without her – and they are considering heading up from Hampshire to do it themselves.

As Gabriella rushed into her mother’s arms — the intimate moment obscured from the camera as they stood behind a screen — we heard, amid the tears, the excited babble of a little girl’s voice. ‘You smell nice,’ Gabriella told her mummy, dissipating the tension as only a child can, before Nazanin replied: ‘Do I? But I haven’t had a shower for 24 hours!’

Nazanin’s friends and neighbours in North London said Richard and Gabriella are ‘obviously absolutely overjoyed that mummy is home. There is so much going on and they need time to adjust but Richard said that they just wanted to settle back into normal life – taking walks in the park, going out for a coffee.’

The neighbour added: ‘Richard said that Nazanin was most excited about taking Gabriella to school in the morning and picking her up at the end of the day like any other parent. I’m so happy for them.’

Another neighbour said: ‘They left here on Wednesday afternoon and Richard said that they were unlikely to be back for a couple of days. I think that now they are all back together, coming home for the first time will feel like taking their first steps towards returning to normality.’

Nazanin worked as a project manager for the Thomson Reuters Foundation, the charitable arm of Thomson Reuters, which covers the lives of people around the world who struggle to live freely or fairly.

In an interview by the charity after her release, Thomson Reuters Foundation CEO Antonio Zappulla described her as ‘a very dedicated and bubbly colleague’, adding: ‘I didn’t know just how resilient she is. I have nothing but admiration. Nazanin’s life was upended, but her spirit was never broken. She is a truly remarkable woman, with a truly remarkable family.’

Nazanin’s two days of bliss in Dorneywood with her family came after Channel 4 said it will air a documentary about Richard Ratcliffe’s campaign to free his wife over the past six years.

The single-episode documentary, called Nazanin, follows the life of Mr Ratcliffe as he balanced a political campaign with raising Gabriella.

The broadcaster said it includes how the youngster coped with separation from her mother, and the moment Mr Ratcliffe realised her detention was linked to a £400 million debt dating back to the 1970s.

It also follows the final days of negotiations with the British Foreign Office in Tehran and Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s journey home.

A spokesperson for Channel 4 said: ‘Nazanin is an intimate, access-driven documentary – part love story, part political thriller. It has a human story with a big heart and mixes original, observational filming with never before seen material filmed by Nazanin herself about her ordeal.’

Nazanin will air later this year.
