The husband of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has called on the Government to “be brave” and take a tougher stance against Iran as he marked 2,000 days of his wife being detained.

Richard Ratcliffe and the couple’s daughter Gabriella set up a giant snakes and ladders board in Parliament Square on Thursday to symbolise the feeling of being caught between two governments, the day after new Foreign Secretary Liz Truss raised the case with her Iranian counterpart.
