Player says Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s story is ‘incredible’ during her guest edit of BBC Radio 4’s Today programme
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has said watching Andy Murray’s Wimbledon match from solitary confinement in Iran’s Evin prison in 2016 gave her a connection and escape that brought her closer to home through sport.
Imprisoned in Evin without books or newspapers, she said she was able to watch two TV channels in her cell: one of Iranian soap operas and another of sports. The first day, she watched the latter to find Murray playing in the Wimbledon tournament he would later win.
