The UK government has called on the Iranian regime to release a British-born environmentalist from the notorious Evin prison.
Morad Tahbaz, 66, a British-U.S.-Iranian wildlife conservationist, was arrested in 2018 and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
He was granted bail in July, but his family said he has now been returned to Evin prison.
In a statement released on Oct. 26, UK Foreign Office minister Lord Ahmad said, “By continuing his horrendous ordeal with these cruel tactics, Iran sends a clear message to the international community that Iran does not deliver on its commitments.”
“We call on Iran to release Morad so he may re-join family in Tehran immediately. We will continue to work closely with our U.S. partners to hold Iran to account, and to secure Morad’s permanent release and departure from Iran.”…
