Richard Ratcliffe has been on a hunger strike outside of the Foreign Office in London in an effort to pressure the British government to secure the release of his wife who has been in an Iranian prison for the past five years. An Iranian court has decided that his wife, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, should remain in prison for another year on charges he says are “completely made up”.
