Family of Briton detained in Iran hopeful about release
LONDON (AP) — The family of a British-Iranian woman detained for months in Iran for allegedly plotting to overthrow the government said Thursday they are hopeful she could come home soon after discovering she has served enough of her sentence to be eligible for early release from prison.
There was no official update on the case of charity worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, 38, who has been serving a five-year prison sentence since she was arrested during a holiday with her toddler daughter to visit family in April 2016. Her family denies charges that she was plotting against Tehran.
