The assessment, during which Zaghari-Ratcliffe was asked about her mental and physical health, was conducted by the Iranian health commissioner on the orders of the prosecutor’s office on Sunday. Zaghari-Ratcliffe was arrested in 2015 with her daughter, who has been forced to remain with her grandmother in Tehran. She was sentenced to five years in jail on charges of spying and trying to topple the Iranian establishment. On Tuesday, the Iranian judiciary’s spokesman, Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje’i, acknowledged that the UK has been making efforts to release her. Zaghari-Ratcllife was taken to the prison clinic on Thursday due to the shock of seeing “propaganda on Iranian state TV”, according to her husband.
