Iran releases jailed UK resident Aras Amiri on furlough
Tehran furloughs an imprisoned woman who had been working for Britain’s cultural outreach agency as Iran's official coronavirus death toll reaches 4,110.
Amid fears that the coronavirus could be running rampant throughout Iran’s jails, another UK resident has been released temporarily from the country’s most notorious prison.
“Aras Amiri who has been unjustly imprisoned in Iran's Evin Prison since 2018 ... has been temporarily released on furlough," Amnesty International UK board director Daren Nair tweeted today. "The Iranian authorities must let her come home to London to be with her fiance."
