UK PM May to meet Iran's Rouhani
British Prime Minister Theresa May will lobby for the release of detained British-Iranian aid worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe during a meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani when both attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday.
A senior British official said that the meeting with Rouhani would discuss consular cases, including that of Zaghari-Ratcliffe who has been sentenced to five years in jail in Iran.
"The PM will express serious concern at Nazanin's ongoing detention and call for her to be released upon humanitarian grounds," the official said.
