Aras Amiri: Iran frees UK-Iranian woman accused of spying

Amiri, 34, back in UK after Iran’s supreme court overturned 2019 conviction and 10-year prison sentence

A British-Iranian dual national who worked for the British Council has been freed from detention in Evin prison and returned to the UK after being acquitted of spying charges.
