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.
