British-Iranian charity worker faces new charge in Iran: state TV
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who was convicted of plotting to overthrow the Iranian government, has been notified of "a new indictment."
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a British-Iranian charity worker held in Tehran since 2016, faces a "new indictment,” Iranian state media reported on Tuesday.
"The 15th chamber of the Islamic Revolutionary Court summoned Nazanin Zaghari this morning with her lawyer … to notify them of a new indictment," read a local news report citing an “informed source.” The report did not specify what Zaghari-Ratcliffe was being charged with.
On Tuesday, British lawmaker Tulip Siddiq said she was in touch with Zaghari-Ratcliffe and confirmed that her constituent will face another trial on Sunday.
“I know many people are concerned about her welfare and I'll keep everyone updated when we have more information,” Siddiq tweeted, describing "a fast moving situation."
