Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was praised for “speaking her mind” after several “bad” Twitter attacks were launched following her criticism of the government.
On Monday, charity workers were told about conservative ministers taking six years to secure their release from prison in Iran.
The mother-of-one said she was disappointed by successive foreign ministers before she was finally released last week.
Speaking at a press conference at the House of Commons, Zaghari-Ratcliffe said she did not agree with her husband, Richard, who thanked the government for finally reaching a deal on a £ 400 million debt owed to Iran by UK owes over an order to the chief. Tanks more than 40 years ago.
The British-Iranian said there had been five different foreign ministers in prison during their six years.
“That is infinite according to British policy,” she said. “I love you Richard, respect everything you believe, but I got told many, many times that ‘Oh, we’ll take you home.’ That never happened.”
She said that this made it difficult for her to put her trust in them, adding: “How many foreign ministers does it take to get someone home? Five?
“What happened now should have happened six years ago.”
After the press conference, the word “ungrateful” trended on Twitter – which seems to have been driven largely by anonymous accounts.
But David Bannerman, a former Conservative MEP for the East of England and a former deputy leader of the UK Independence Party, was among the verified Twitter users to weigh. gerett hir. Does she have no responsibility to be in a country with such a bad regime?
He also retweeted an anonymous account, saying: “The words you are desperately looking for are ‘thank you to the British Government and taxpayers for paying the £ 400 million ransom …'”
Many negative tweets can be in the Answers in a Sky News post which stated: “Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe disagreed with her husband, who thanked the Foreign Secretary for securing her release, saying that her release ‘should have happened six years ago’.
But the attacks on Zaghari rat cliffs appear to have been far exceeded by those praising the 43-year-old.
Channel 4 News host Cathy Newman wrote: “Ridiculous (but sadly predictable) that people are going crazy with Nazanin to speak their minds. that she’s lost six precious years in prison. Wouldn’t you? “
Ridiculous (but sadly predictable) with which people are cross #Nazan to speak their mind. She was very grateful to be released (and spent quite some time diligently) but rightly angry that she had lost six valuable years in prison. Would not you?

Television presenter Gabby Logan said: “People (some men) really do not like women telling their truth. Hard.”

Massive respect for Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe for not sugarcoating what she thought, and absolutely zero respect for the people who tell her what to think or feel after being locked up for six years

The comments made on Nazanin are appalling. We should be grateful to her for speaking out and trying to ensure that such a thing never happens again. A woman is imprisoned because her country refuses to pay a debt. She speaks for you. Braver as a Social Media Bandit.

Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe is allowed to say what the hell she loves, to whom hell she loves.
This is because Britain is a free country, unlike Iran.

#Undankbar #Nazan are in trend.
Personally, if I had been captured by Iran for 6 years for something I did not do, while the British Government refused to pay a debt they owed, I would not have voted on it at a press conference.
No, I’d definitely hit one now.

Nazanin is not ungrateful – she paid the price for Britain not fulfilling its debt to Iran. Britain owed this money
Anyone who complains about her honesty & experience when Tory Govt failed her is angry
You are UNGRATEFUL for the personal sacrifice she has made for this country
Shut up

On April 3, 2016, the mother-of-one of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards was detained at Imam Khomeini airport after a holiday visit to Iran, where she showed her daughter Gabriella to her parents.
Gabriella, now 7, was just 22 months old when her mother was arrested on trumped charges of conspiracy against the regime – which she has always denied.
The charity worker was sentenced to five years in the notorious Evin prison and has since been detained in Iran.
While Nazanin’s release now appears to have depended on the repayment of historical debt, the government has long denied that this was the case – despite the man Richard Ratcliffe’s minister saying otherwise.
“Nazanin’s interrogators told her five or six months after her arrest that they were surprised that this took so long,” Ratcliffe insisted.
Despite current Secretary of State Liz Truss recently acknowledging the link, Secretary of State James Cleverly told the Commons only in March last year that historical debt between the two countries was “unrelated” to Nazanin detention.
