Iran 🇮🇷 hits detained British-Iranian mother with new charges

When Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe learned she was going to court, the British-Iranian mother assumed she was about to be released from a Tehran prison.

Instead, the charity worker found herself facing several new charges -- and potentially another 16 years in jail -- after being held for more than a year on charges of plotting against the Iranian government, her husband said Tuesday.

An Iranian judge also ruled that her family would have to pay $8,000 in bail to prevent her from being moved to solitary confinement while awaiting trial, Ratcliffe says.

Zaghari-Ratcliffe was said to have been promised temporary release by the judiciary just two weeks ago, so she had written herself a note saying that she could soon be waking up somewhere else.
