star this property answer text <p>The safety and security of British citizens in Iran is of paramount importance, and we call on Iran to uphold its commitments under international law to treat all detainees in line with international standards. The Foreign Secretary continues to raise his concerns over arbitrary detentions, most recently with Foreign Minister Zarif on 16 March. Our Ambassador to Iran has consistently raised this issue with the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We will continue to lobby the Iranian Government at the most senior level for the urgent release of all dual national detainees on humanitarian grounds. The FCO advise against all but essential travel to Iran. However, for British-Iranian dual nationals the FCO continue to advise against all travel to Iran.</p> more like this

While the further extension of Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe's temporary release is a welcome step, we continue to urge Iran to make it permanent so she can return to her family in the UK and will continue to raise this at the highest levels with Iran. The Foreign Secretary raised it with Foreign Minister Zarif on 16 March and our Ambassador to Iran has consistently raised it with the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
