Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, the detained British-Iranian aid worker sentenced to five years in jail in Iran, is reportedly to face a second trial on new security charges. Iran’s Tasnim news agency quoted the head of Tehran’s revolutionary court, Musa Ghazanfarabadi, as saying she would be ordered “to present an attorney and then the court will convene”. Ghazanfarabadi said the new charge against Zaghari-Ratcliffe was security related, but did not specify what it was, Tasnim reported. In a statement last week, the foundation said it totally rejected “the renewed accusations that Nazanin is guilty of spreading propaganda”. That’s a very mild form of security charge, so hopefully it’s just that.”
