The husband of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has criticised the government\u2019s handling of his wife\u2019s case, stating that it \u201cdoes not deal with problems until they become crises\u201d.<\/p>\n
Richard Ratcliffe said he held a strategy meeting with the Foreign Office on 15 October as he was concerned something would happen to his wife\u2019s appeal during the autumn.<\/p>\n
The next day, Zaghari-Ratcliffe was informed her appeal had been rejected, meaning she could now be sent back to prison at any point to serve a sentence of one year imprisonment plus a one-year travel ban for \u201cspreading propaganda against the regime\u201d.<\/p>\n
