Iran holding Razanin Ratcliffe is illegal/wrong and UN calls for her release. Problem is that UK govt stance on her case is undermined by its failure to uphold the same principles in the case of J.Assange, whose release the UN also calls for but which UK rejects. Next 3 tweets 
UK govt “have repeatedly asked the Iranians to release Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe on humanitarian grounds” and state ”the importance of abiding by agreements and international norms” – similar norms demanded by UN which the UK rejects in the case of J.Assange. bit.ly/2H2tL1X
For Razanin Ratcliffe, held by Iran, UK govt states: “medical treatment must be provided when it is needed”. Yet for J.Assange, arbitrarily detailed by UK, medical treatment has been denied on threat of arrest and extradition to a persecuting state. bit.ly/2VBh69x
When a state undermines international law repeatedly as UK does (bit.ly/2MkF3kg) it cannot expect to be taken seriously when it calls on others to uphold laws. A key way in which the UK – a rogue state - is a menace to us, UK citizens, and the rest of the world.
