UK urges British-Iranians not to travel to Iran

LONDON, Sept 19 (KUNA) -- The UK Foreign Office on Wednesday warned British-Iranians against all but necessary travel to Iran due to the risk of being "arbitrarily detained" there.
The office said it would be "extremely limited" in the consular assistance it would be able to offer these dual nationals, who Tehran does not recognise.
The warning comes as Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a British-Iranian charity worker, continues to be detained by Tehran due to her alleged plans to overthrow the government. (end) mrn.sd
