UK PM: govt 'working hard' to free Zaghari-Ratcliffe

British Prime Minister  Boris Johnson says the UK government is "working very hard" to secure the release of an Iranian-British woman who has been sentenced to another year of prison in Iran.

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has already served a five-year prison sentence in the Islamic Republic.

Her lawyer Hojjat Kermani told The Associated Press on Monday that she received the second sentence on a charge of spreading “propaganda against the system” for participating in a protest in front of the Iranian Embassy in London in 2009.
