<p>The Government remains concerned about the welfare of British-Iranian dual nationals
detained in Iran, including Anoosheh Ashoori. Iran does not recognise dual nationality
and therefore does not permit access to British-Iranian detainees.</p><p>We continue
to urge the Iranian Government to immediately release all UK dual nationals arbitrarily
detained in Iran - to enable them to return to their families in the UK.</p><p>We
continue to raise their cases at the most senior levels, and discuss them at every
opportunity with our Iranian counterparts. Our Ambassador in Tehran consistently raises
all of our dual national detainees cases with the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Our Embassy in Tehran continues to request consular access to Mr Ashoori and we have
been supporting his family since being made aware of his detention.</p>
