Vigil, Iranian Embassy London, 16 January, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, GabriellaFree Nazanin.

A vigil for the jailed British woman Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is being held outside the Iranian Embassy in London from 4pm-6pm on 16 January.

Zaghari-Ratcliffe is serving a five-year jail sentence in Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison after being convicted last year in an unfair trial by a Revolutionary Court on unspecified “national security charges”.

According to a report released last June by the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, political prisoners held in the Women’s Ward at Iran’s Evin Prison are routinely denied medical care and hospitalisation, face severely restricted or denied visitation rights even with their young children, are deprived of regular telephone contact with their families, and are not provided adequate nutrition.
