💬Penny Madden, Richard Ratcliffe's lawyer, said hopes "remain very high" about his wife's safe return to Britain.

"We still don't know, we still haven't had that confirmation, so there is enormous anxiety for Richard, for Gabriella, for the family, for Nazanin"

"Until she comes home on that flight, nobody will be able to relax.

"So still very, very optimistic, we don't know what the delay is, we're very, very scared but remain ever-optimistic"
