An Iranian woman jailed on spying charges has returned to the United Kingdom after Iran’s judiciary removed her travel ban, her lawyer and employer said Wednesday.
The British Council said Aras Amiri was acquitted of all charges against her following a successful appeal by her lawyers to Iran’s Supreme Court. Her lawyer in Tehran, Hojjat Kermani, confirmed to The Associated Press that Amiri flew out of the Iranian capital on Monday after her travel ban was lifted.
