THE daughter of Morad Tahbaz urged Liz Truss today to secure his release from prison in Iran, at a protest outside the Foreign Office in London.
Roxanne Tahbaz said her father feels “abandoned” by the Foreign Secretary and British government after he was left out of a deal struck with Iranian authorities which saw Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori return home last month.
Mr Tahbaz, a prominent wildlife conservationist, was briefly allowed out on furlough but returned to custody just two days later.
The Committee for the Defence of Iranian People’s Rights (Codir) welcomes demonstrations across Iran, which have put pressure upon the theocratic dictatorship, but warns against intervention by the United States to force Iran in a particular direction
