| - British-Iranian dual citizen Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who completed a five-year sentence for sedition in Iran on Sunday, has been on a judicial roller coaster since 2016. Here are the key dates in her ordeal. Zaghari-Ratcliffe, an employee of the Thomson Reuters Foundation, is arrested on April 3, 2016, with her daughter Gabriella, then 22-months-old, at the Tehran airport after she visited her family for the Iranian new year. The toddler's British passport is confiscated and she is handed over to her maternal grandparents. Incarcerated at the Evin prison in the Iranian capital, Zaghari-Ratcliffe, then 37, is accused in June 2016 of plotting a "soft overthrow" of the Iranian government with the support of foreign intelligence services. On September 9, 2016, Zaghari-Ratcliffe is sentenced to five years in jail for taking part in a "sedition movement" in Iran in 2009, according to an Iranian judicial official. The sentence is upheld on appeal in April 2017. In November that year, Boris Johnson, who was then Britain's foreign minister, commits a faux pas by telling a parliament committee that Zaghari-Ratcliffe trained journalists in Iran, a remark that fuels Tehran's accusations. A month later, during a visit to Iran, Johnson presses Tehran for her release. On March 7, 2019, London accords diplomatic protection to Zaghari-Ratcliffe, saying her detention conditions do not comply with international law. In April, the Iranian authorities offer to free Zaghari-Ratcliffe if the United States drops accusations against an Iranian prisoner, also a woman, in Australia. London rejects the offer. In June 2019, Zaghari-Ratcliffe launches a hunger strike that lasts two weeks. In July she is transferred to a hospital's psychiatric ward where she stays for several days. In October, little Gabriella returns to London so she can go to school under her father's care. Richard Ratcliffe, who has fought for years for his wife's release, says repeatedly that she is the "hostage" of a sinister political game centred on an old debt incurred by Britain in connection with an arms deal. In March 2020, because of the coronavirus pandemic, Zaghari-Ratcliffe is accorded temporary release and placed under house arrest at her parents' home. On September 8, a new charge is levied against her, for spreading propaganda against Tehran. She appears before a judge on November 2 and the trial is adjourned without a date set for resumption. Upon completion of her five-year sentence for sedition on Sunday, Zaghari-Ratcliffe's electronic bracelet is removed, but she is summoned to appear in court on March 14 over the propaganda charge. fm/ber/ode/gd/har
