British Rights Abroad Group

If you’re a #British citizen this petition concerns you. If not, it does too. The UK passport is highly regarded around the world, but it doesn’t grant its holders protection of their human rights abroad. If Brits can’t count on their govt, who can? Change.org/britishrightsa…

Richard Ratcliffe: I’m on hunger strike because the UK is failing in it's duty to bring Nazanin home inews.co.uk/opinion/richar…

Jagtar Singh Johal is a British citizen who has been tortured and locked up in an Indian prison for almost four years. Thanks to you, we're fighting to make sure the UK Government speaks up for him and brings him home before it's too late. Thank you. 🧡 #FreeJaggiNow #FreeJaggi

What kind of government requires their citizens to starve themselves in order to guarantee our human rights abroad are protected? Richard and Nazanin’s tragedy is one of thousands. How many more are you waiting for @BorisJohnson @UKParliament @FCDOGovUK? #FreeNazanin

1416 DAYS IN DETENTION Tomorrow, Monday 20 September 2021 will see Jaggi face his 165th pre-trial preliminary hearing. The hearing tomorrow will take place via video link at the NIA court in Mohali. #FreeJaggiNow

Richard Ratcliffe is phenomenally courageous and absolutely right. "The government needs to take action, and needs to be brave" @FreeNazanin #Marr

"I do think one of the great problems, the UK has, is... the government has no obligation to protect at all. It's entirely discretionary. Um, which means if you happen to know the foreign secretary, you've got a chance to be protected..." #PodHostageDiplomacy #FreeNazanin

60 cross-party MPs urge the govt to give Anoosheh Ashoori diplomatic protection. His wife says the heartache, fear, depression his family have suffered over almost 4 years is "nothing compared with the severe hardship" he's endured in jail in Iran

Today was the second Mother's Day I have had to spend without my sweet son, #TrevorReed because he is being wrongfully detained in a Russian prison for his 632nd day. I hope I do not have to spend ANOTHER one without BOTH of my children by my side.

Today, Monday 10 May 2021 marks: 1284 days of wrongful imprisonment 1284 days of torture & abuse 1284 days of human rights breach 1284 days of injustice 1284 days of arbitrary detention No evidence. No conviction. #FreeJaggiNow

Thank you @RichardJSpencer for his article on my father in today’s @thetimes & for highlighting the U.K. government’s reluctance and resistance in acknowledging my father’s name publicly. #freeanoosheh #sayhisname thetimes.co.uk/article/family…

THIS ISN’T FAIR. Iran is digging a deeper hole for itself with every arbitrary decision, as is the UK with their inability to defend Nazanin’s rights. @BorisJohnson @DominicRaab #FreeNazanin

1249 DAYS IN DETENTION Tomorrow, Tuesday 06 April 2021 will see Jaggi being presented at Patiala House court in Delhi via video link in what will be his 154th pre-trial preliminary hearing. #FreeJaggiNow

Jagtar Singh Johal was tortured. He shouldn't be facing the threat of a death sentence in India today. He should be back home in Dumbarton, Scotland. The UK needs to speak up for Jagtar. #FreeJaggiNow #FreeJaggi 👉🏾 buff.ly/3mbqbU1

As the current @UN Human Rights Council sessions ends, we reiterate our call for Iran to do the right thing and release Anoosheh Ashoori, Morad Tahbaz and Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe so they can return to the UK and their loved ones. We will do all we can to bring them home

I meant it when I said this last Saturday night and I still mean this tonight. No matter what happens tomorrow, we’ll be right here campaigning next to you, @FreeNazanin until Nazanin is back home in West Hampstead. #FreeNazanin @BorisJohnson @DominicRaab @FCDOGovUK

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's husband said the British embassy in #Iran had declined to accompany his wife to Sunday's trial. bbc.com/news/uk-563903…

Jagtar Singh Johal is a British national. He's a victim of torture. He's been arbitrarily detained in India for over 3 years. And he faces the threat of a death sentence. What is the UK government waiting for to act?

There’s no excuse for this @DominicRaab @FCDOGovUK. Nazanin, like all British nationals held in Iran, is innocent. Until when will the British government get away with failing to protect its citizens from such abuse, and defend their rights when they’re violated?

Mr Ratcliffe said: “If she comes home on the day ... I’ll come out and say thank you very much and be very gracious. “But if she doesn’t come home, I want to know what you’re going to do on March 8. #FreeNazanin @DominicRaab standard.co.uk/news/uk/nazani…

6 yr old Gabriella Ratcliffe has been campaigning for the release of her innocent British mother, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe since she was 1 year old. Nazanin has been held hostage in #Iran for 5 years and her sentence ends in 9 days. #FreeNazanin @BorisJohnson @DominicRaab
