Well said @alexakabob1

@DariusBazargan Looking forward to finally seeing it.

Me and my small camera. stood shoulder to shoulder with these good people for half a decade. When the news cycle moved on - when no one wanted to know. 6 years: 3 US Presidents, 3 Prime ministers, 5 foreign secretaries & Brexit and Covid. On and on. But be sure: #LoveAlwaysWins

So lovely to have uplifting conversations with Richard and Nazanin today. They are both relentless in their pursuit of justice and raised the plight of Morad Tahbaz with me. Here I was hoping to sleep for a week… Here’s their first family selfie! #NazaninIsFree

No place like home Thank you to everyone who made this possible, to all of the care and campaigning, and diplomatic efforts. You have made us whole. #NazaninIsFree

Nazanin’s plane took off from Oman just over half an hour ago and she’s due to arrive in the UK this evening. Here she is on the plane - the final step in what has been a six year long ordeal. #NazaninIsFree

The dignity of #RichardRatcliffe is in stark contrast to so many ‘We live in the future not in the past’ ‘Homecoming is a journey not an arrival’ ‘This will be a chapter in our lives but there are many more chapters to come’ #NazaninZaghariRatcliffe #NazaninIsFree x

Nazanin and Anoosheh have arrived safely in Oman. Sincere thanks for the hard work and good faith in Tehran and London that made this possible. Soon they will be with their loved ones at home. We hope this result will bring further progress in the dialogue between the parties.

"The first thing she always wanted to do was me make her a cup of tea" Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's husband Richard and her daughter Gabriella are in London waiting for Nazanin to arrive back home from Iran bbc.in/3q9JP6j

I am very pleased to confirm that the unfair detention of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori in Iran has ended today, and they will now return to the UK.

I can confirm Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori will return to the UK today, and Morad Tahbaz has been released from prison on furlough. They will be reunited with their families later today. We will continue to work to secure Morad's departure from Iran.

Word of the day, for Nazanin, is the French ‘retrouvailles’: the joy of reuniting after a long, long time apart.

Six years of detention for Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe are finally at an end.

This is the tweet we’ve longed to send! bbc.co.uk/news/uk-607568…

British-Iranian Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is on her way home to UK after nearly six years in detention in Iran, says MP bbc.in/3CUISE4

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori have been released and are "on the way to the airport", their lawyer has told Reuters. reuters.com/world/two-deta…

Nazanin is at the airport in Tehran and on her way home. I came into politics to make a difference, and right now I’m feeling like I have. More details to follow. #FreeNazanin
