Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe Tells PM She ‘Lived in the Shadow’ of His Mistake

THE GUARDIAN: Zaghari-Ratcliffe recalled ‘training journalists’ comment in meeting with Boris Johnson, says Tulip Siddiq

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has told Boris Johnson that for four years she lived in the shadow of his mistaken statement as foreign secretary that she had been in Iran to train journalists.

Zaghari-Ratcliffe, released by Iran just over a month ago, told Johnson in a face-to-face meeting in Downing Street that his remarks had had a big impact on her life, according to Tulip Siddiq, her MP and close ally.

Speaking outside Downing Street after the meeting, Siddiq said Johnson looked visibly shocked, and she said she was proud of Zaghari-Ratcliffe for being so blunt. With video » | Patrick Wintour, Diplomatic editor | Friday, May 13, 2022
