British-Iranian dual national who spent five years in the jail says attack was a publicity stunt that endangered prisoners
I spent five years in Iran’s notorious Evin prison but when Israel bombed it I felt horror and fear
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, the British-Iranian dual national who spent five years in Evin prison, has denounced Monday’s Israeli attack on the jail as a publicity stunt that endangered the lives of prisoners.
Writing for the Guardian, she also criticised the Labour government for failing to describe the attacks on Iran as unlawful, saying it set a dangerous precedent.
“It has escalated into a proper war against Iran with the US intervention and the rhetoric of regime change,” she writes. “The mission creep has been unnerving even for those of us who have suffered at the hands of the Iranian regime.”
