Iran preparing to execute British citizen, say family – BBC News


The family of Alireza Akbari, a British-Iranian dual national sentenced to death in Iran, have said authorities are preparing to execute him.

Mr Akbari, an ex-deputy Iranian defence minister, was arrested in 2019 and convicted of spying for the UK.

He has denied these claims, and said he was tortured and forced to confess on camera to crimes he did not commit.

The UK has urged Iran to halt the planned execution and immediately release Mr Akbari, however Iran’s government does not recognise dual nationality for Iranians.
