Media did not find family ‘very relatable’ and they had to fight for help, says Elika Ashoori
The daughter of Anoosheh Ashoori, a British-Iranian businessman who returned to the UK this week after years of captivity in Iran, said they struggled to draw the media’s attention to her father’s plight because they did not see the family as “very relatable”.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Elika Ashoori said the family had experienced an “outpouring of love” since her father’s return but the last five years of his captivity had been very different and they had to fight for help.
