My colleague Tulip Siddiq MP in whose constituency Nazanin, Richard and Gabriella live, secured a debate in Westminster Hall on Tuesday 16 November 2021 as Nazanin has not yet come home from Iran. It was a packed Westminster Hall and Richard was in the audience. The MPs sat in all the seats and some had to stand. I had made a promise to Richard during his first hunger strike outside the Iranian Embassy that as the then Shadow leader of the House I would raise Nazanin, Annoosheh Ashoori and added Morad Tahbaz and Mehran Raoof every Thursday at Business Questions. I kept my word. I am grateful to Patrick Grady MP for mentioning that I did this.
