Detained British-Iranian mother granted diplomatic protection by UK

Jailed British-Iranian woman Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is to receive diplomatic protection by Britain.

It means the case will now be treated as a formal legal dispute between Britain and Iran.

Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe was jailed for five years in Iran in 2016 after being convicted of spying.

She denies the allegation.
