RELATIVES of loved ones failed by the British government gathered outside Downing Street for a carol-singing vigil tonight to remind the PM that not “everyone is with their families this Christmas.”
The event has been held for the past four years, organised by Richard Ratcliffe, the husband of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe who was imprisoned in Iran in 2016.
This year, Mr Ratcliffe was joined by the relatives of British nationals who have also lived through or continue to face human rights violations abroad.
