Foreign Secretary, Liz Truss said:
As Morad Tahbaz turns 66 today, he faces another birthday spent unjustly detained in Iran.
I call on Iran to immediately end its cruel treatment of Morad and allow him proper medical treatment.
I raised Morad’s case with the Iranian Foreign Minister last week and remain committed to bringing him home to be reunited with his family.
