'Propaganda against the Iranian government system' for having participated in a 2009 protest in London in front of the Iranian embassy and for an interview on the same occasion on the BBC channel in Persian.
This is the new accusation that Anglo-British citizen Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe will have to answer on March 14 before the Revolutionary Court in Tehran, who was released today after serving a controversial five-year prison sentence for espionage.
His lawyer, Hojjat Kermani, told the Iranian agency Irna.
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, the Anglo-Iranian woman detained in Iran for five years after being convicted of espionage, was released after finishing her sentence.
However, he will not be able to leave Iran but will have to appear again next Sunday before the revolutionary court in Tehran to answer for a new charge, not yet specified.
His lawyer, Hojjat Kermani, told the Irna agency.
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, an employee of the Thomson Reuters Foundation sentenced at the time in Tehran for an alleged case of espionage - as part of a very controversial trial - was arrested in 2016 while traveling to her country of origin.
A few months ago, due to the risk of contagion from Covid-19, she was transferred from prison to house arrest at her parents' home in Tehran, but with the obligation to wear an electronic ankle bracelet.
British Labor MP Tulip Siddiq, elected to the college in the area where the woman's family lives and in contact with her husband, Richard Ratcliffe, said the electronic bracelet was removed today.
The new convocation before the Revolutionary Court of Tehran had been announced in recent days by the spokesman for the Iranian judicial system, who, however, had not specified the new accusation or the date of the hearing.
The woman has always declared herself innocent, while the London government also disputes the Iranian accusations.
British Foreign Minister Dominic Raab defined the treatment inflicted on the woman as "cruel and intolerable" and ordered Iran to definitively restore her freedom so that she can return to the United Kingdom as her husband and children.
