I visited Richard Ratcliffe on Thursday 4 November 2021 who is on day 12 of his second hunger strike. This time Richard is outside the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Richard is the husband of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.  Nazanin is a British-Iranian woman who has been arbitrarily detained in Iran since April 2016 after visiting family with their young daughter Gabriella. 

Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating the Festival of Lights in Britain, and to Hindu, Sikh and Jain communities all over the world.
