We are supporting the family of Mehran Raoof and remain in close contact with them to discuss the support we provide to Mr Raoof. We will continue to request access to hearings for dual British nationals where the family wishes us to do so, however Iran routinely denies us access to such hearings because they view British dual nationals as solely Iranian.
