Speaking in the Commons about the case of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, Boris Johnson said: 'The UK government has no doubt that she was on holiday in Iran when she was arrested last year.' The foreign secretary said that he had telephoned his Iranian counterpart, Javad Zarif, on Tuesday morning to discuss the case of Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a charity worker who was detained while visiting the country with her young daughter, and is serving a five-year sentence for allegedly plotting to topple the government in Tehran. Johnson said that in his talk with Zarif, he urged Iranian authorities to release Zaghari-Ratcliffe on humanitarian grounds. In return, Zarif told Johnson that any developments in the case 'were unrelated to the foreign secretary’s remarks' and he was committed to finding a solution
