The husband of Iranian detainee Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has said he is entering "uncharted territory" on the 16th day of his hunger strike outside the Foreign Office.

Richard Ratcliffe, began protesting to put pressure on Boris Johnson to meet Iranian delegates at COP 26 to demand freedom for Britons detained in Iran.

He was joined on Monday by Claudia Winkleman and Victoria Coren-Mitchell.

Writer and presenter Mrs Coren-Mitchell said she wanted to support Mr Ratcliffe, who she said "might be the most amazing husband and father ever seen".

"They're a normal family that a terrible thing's happened to," she said.

"Nazanin is a totally innocent woman who needs to come home to her family. Their ongoing torment is a major failure of British diplomacy in its core responsibility - to protect its citizens.

"He doesn't have any power, and he wants the people with power to help him, but he is doing everything he can. I wanted to come as a friend and support him."

Mr Ratcliffe said he doesn't "have any confidence" in the government's plans to free his wife.

Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe, from Hampstead, north London, won't be freed until £400m owed to Iran for failing to deliver tanks in the 1970s is paid.

 

"Nazanin is held over some debt that the British Government owes the Iranians," he said.

 

"She's not going to come home until it gets paid, so that needs to be sorted and they also need to be a lot tougher with Iran on using innocent people as hostages."

 

Don't know how much the British can negotiate "be a lot tougher with Iran on using innocent people as hostages", when they owe £400 million to them ! ?‍♂️?

That's pretty low class to not pay that money. What's even more low class is having 400 million dollars worth of Persian artifacts and not giving them those back either. 99 percent of which are not even shown in a museum.

Interesting. What are you referring to ?

Well. The fact that the british museum has most of the worlds heritage stolen and locked up, only one percent of which they show is fact. 

How much you could value the Persian collection at is subjective and I have no idea. 

Wat kind of low life do you have to be, to first plunder and loot a people, then proceed to rip them off and owe them money, then proceed to give them neither the money nor their <banned word filter activated> back?

What will they do with the other 99% ?

Sell it at auction maybe ?

T

he husband of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has described a meeting with a Foreign Officer minister as “depressing” after telling him he was coming away from it with “no hope”.

Richard Ratcliffe’s meeting with James Cleverly followed talks between UK Government officials and Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Ali Bagheri Kani.

The meetings on Thursday came as Mr Ratcliffe endured his 19th day on hunger strike outside the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) in London.

Speaking to reporters after his meeting with Mr Cleverly, Mr Ratcliffe said: “If I’m honest, quite a depressing meeting.

 

“In terms of what we got told, well, not much.”

He said Mr Cleverly wanted to emphasise that the meeting with the Iranian delegation had been “cordial”.

He told reporters he would continue his hunger strike outside the FCDO “this evening”, but said he was nearing the end of it “as a strategy”.

Asked if he was going to carry on, Mr Ratcliffe said: “For this evening, yes.

“I think there’s a basic medical limit on how long you do a hunger strike for.

“I made a promise to Nazanin, I made a promise to my family, mum in particular, and to the family doctors, that I won’t take it too far.

The husband of British-Iranian detainee Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has ended his hunger strike after 21 days.

Richard Ratcliffe has been protesting outside the Foreign Office, demanding the government does more to secure his wife's release from Iran. 

He said he had promised her he would end the protest, adding their child "needs two parents", and he would now go to hospital for a full check-up.

The Foreign Office has said it is doing all it can to get Nazanin home.

    • Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Please someone shed light on the following situation: I understand that waheguru ji is everywhere.   This is what I feel: when I go to gurughar to do ardas, most of the times my ardas is accepted and when I do from home, sometimes ardas is not accepted.  This makes me believe that  i need to go to gurughar to do ardas in order to fullfill the ardas wishes. Now, here the problen is,  I do regular path and ardas at home and when something is important, i do ardas at home and go to gurudwara sahib to do the ardas and if i don't do that i feel something bad will happen and my wish will not be fullfilled. Sometimes the list gets so big, i had to write it on a piece of paper and look at the paper while doing ardas at gurughar. Sometimes I get frustrated because sometimes there is hukumnama, sometimes ardas happening, sometimes sukhasan, sometimes there is a big crowd (lineup) that I can't peacefully stand and do ardas and wait until everything is over. Also, i think if I do full ardass (means like the way the pathi sahib do), that's the only way fullfill my wishes. I think if I don't do full ardas and simply request for my wishes to be fullfilled (point to point talk without full ardas), waheguru will not listen and won't grant me those wishes. This all is driving me crazy with frustration and mental peace.  is it real that only ardas has to be done at gurughar to be fullfilled or it can be done anywhere anytime? Kindly advise what should I do and please guide me to the right path.  
    • we shouldn't be worried about meat. I know this forum is allergic to meat discussions, but meat is hardly an issue for a sikh to be worried about! If you want we can discuss privately. Bhangra is dreadful these days. However music if required for keertan, so without bhangra music is actually good, if we do music with gurbani or something helpful and chardi kala! However it is unfortunate I am seeing modern keertanis bring keertan down to the level of bhangra from the past few decades!
    • Is that...? ਵਖੜਿਆ ਦਾ ਝਟਕਾ? and not ਬਕੜਿਆ ਦਾ. Unique ones not goat ones. 
    • 4 days total.  First 3 days Akhand Paat for the auspicious occasion.  4th day Anand Karj followed by Kirtan, Katha and Guru ka Kangar.  In my attendance of 20+ weddings I have only seen ONE such wedding. Zero party... party brings meat, alcohol and bhangra / music.
    • I can see this old post has popped up on feed.  I am 34 was 17 when I was blessed with Amrit. Due to my kacha (raw/ uncooked) jeevan I dwell on this; if I had not taken Amrit wouldn't I have enjoyed sex, going pubs and eating meat sometimes? All before the age of 25? Then take Amrit later on in life? And if you have indulged in such activities... ENJOY IT! Why worry about hell / heaven?  As an Amritdhari we have other responsibilities; reunion with God whilst in Grisht jeevan. But if you're Non Amritdhari why worry? JUST ENJOY!
