Image: PA Image: PA A DUAL BRITISH-US national who was temporarily released from prison in Iran last week was taken back into custody just two days later, according to his lawyer.
Barely two days after Tahbaz left jail and headed to his family’s home in Tehran, Iranian security forces forced him to return to Evin Prison, his Tehran-based lawyer said. However, Tahbaz’s lawyer said he “was not informed about any ankle tag” and two days later he remains behind bars without any update.“We are not a party to this arrangement, but would join the UK in considering anything short of Morad’s immediate furlough a violation of Iran’s commitment.Iranian security forces arrested Tahbaz in January 2018 as part of a wide crackdown targeting environmental activists in the Islamic Republic.
