The husband of the imprisoned Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has ended his three-week hunger strike.

Richard Ratcliffe has camped outside the UK Foreign Office in central London for 21 days campaigning for his wife's release from an Iranian prison.

A tweet on the FreeNazanin Twitter account posted on Saturday afternoon (November 13) said: "Day 21 #FreeNazanin
Today I have promised Nazanin to end the hunger strike
Gabriella needs two parents. Thank you all for your overwhelming care these past three weeks."

Nazanin was taken while visiting family in Iran 2016 with her then 22-month-old daughter, Gabriella.

Richard Ratcliffe, the husband of the detained Iranian-British dual national Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, is on the 17th day of his hunger strike outside the Foreign Office in London. He says he will continue until there is acknowledgment that ministers need to act fast to spare his wife from another year in a Tehran prison after completing a five-year sentence on the spying charges she has always denied. After five and a half years of no tangible progress, and most campaigning avenues exhausted, Ratcliffe, who is spending his nights outside the Foreign Office in a tent, does not yet want to back down. The question of when to stop is difficult. He knows that after 25 days he will cause his body permanent damage. He is sleeping 10 hours a night, struggling to recuperate from a lack of sustenance. He is visited by Labour MP Stephen Kinnock at the top of the edit.
