After six years detention, the British-Iranian national, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, has left Iran after being freed from prison. Her husband, Richard - who has campaigned tirelessly for her release says this marks the "beginning of a new life, a normal life". Nazanin had been held in Iran since 2016 - accused of plotting to overthrow Iran's government, which she denied. Also returning to the UK alongside Nazanin is Anoosheh Ashoori - who was arrested in 2017 and accused of spying, a claim he denied. The BBC's Caroline Hawley has spent years covering Nazanin's ordeal and now knows the family well. For 5 Minutes On, Caroline reflects on an incredibly emotional and turbulent period for everyone who knows her. Image Credit: Zaghari family handout via Reuters
