IRANIAN detainee with links to Farnham Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was denied her right to vote in the general elections.

Nazanin holds dual nationality both British and Iranian and has been in prison since September as part of a five-year sentence for national security related crimes.

Her husband, Richard Ratcliffe claims that he tried to get the form for her to sign for a postal vote or vote by proxy a number of times.

However, this was stopped by the guard, by the prison manager and by the prosecutors’ office.

The British Embassy had promised Nazanin’s family they would encourage the Iranian authorities to allow her to vote in the UK elections, but did not manage to speak to anyone to secure it before the deadline passed.’
