Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a British-Iranian mum who was detained in Iran for nearly six years, has been released from prison. Both Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe and fellow detainee Anoosheh Ashoori are believed to be heading to Tehran airport to leave the country.
Tulip Siddiq, Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s MP in Hampstead and Kilburn, wrote on Twitter: “Nazanin is at the airport in Tehran and on her way home.” The Foreign Office has not commented on the reports and earlier Boris Johnson said negotiations about Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe were “moving forward” but “going right up to the wire”.
On Tuesday (March 16) it emerged she had been given her passport back in what supporters hoped would be a major breakthrough. There is still nervousness in Whitehall about the situation, however, with sources stressing the pair will not be free until they are actually on a plane out of Iran.

Following the 2003 Bam earthquake, she worked as a translator in the relief effort for the Japan International Cooperation Agency. She went on to work for the Red Cross and then the World

Iranian pop star Googoosh wows Dubai despite Tehran's outcry
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- It was music fit for the troubled times.Her voice full of heartache and tender resolve, Iranian pop diva and national icon Googoosh delivered old hits and songs from her new album to a packed stadium on Thursday in Dubai — just across the Persian Gulf from her home that had banned her from singing for 21 years and where authorities to this day continue to protest her performances.“When our lives pass away in dismal loneliness, where will we find these beautiful moments again?” she crooned in Farsi from the stage at Expo 2020, Dubai’s world’s fair. “Let my dreams not be forever unfulfilled.”Dressed at first in a simple white dress and later changing into a shimmering black gown, she swayed her hips gently and said she hoped people would remember the night forever.The audience went wild.Googoosh’s classic pre-1979 Islamic Revolution songs drew cheers and shouts of recognition, as Iranian concert-goers sang every word of the cabaret-style ballads and jump-danced to her discotheque tunes.“I can’t tell you how much I love her,” gushed 35-year-old Sarah Ali, an Iranian fan who traveled from Oman for the concert and arrived at Expo nine hours early to get as close as possible to the stage.
