London: On Monday, aid worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe accused Britain and Iran of treating her like a ‘political pawn’. She also said that it should not have taken six years for London to secure her release from detention in Tehran. Zaghari-Ratcliffe said that she had been told shortly after her arrest that the Iranians wanted “something off the Brits”, and she could not understand why it had taken six years, and five different foreign secretaries, for it to be resolved.
