UK officials did not force jailed dual-national to sign ‘confession’ but advised it was standard practice, MP says
British officials did not require Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe to sign a forced confession before her departure from Iran, but instead advised her that the Iranians would not allow her to leave unless she did so, the UK’s Middle East minister, Amanda Milling, told MPs.
British officials also advised that it was standard Iranian practice for released detainees to have to sign such documents, Milling said.
