On the fifth anniversary of her father’s arrest, the daughter of a man wrongfully detained in Iran is calling on the governments of the United States and United Kingdom to do whatever they can to bring him home
. Tara Tahbaz described her father, Morad Tahbaz, as “one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met – one of the kindest, most generous people.” “We really, really miss him. We’re trying to do everything possible to get him home to us,” she said Tuesday, telling CNN that the anniversary of his arrest is “definitely a very difficult day.” Morad Tahbaz, who is a US, UK and Iranian citizen, was arrested in January 2018 on charges of espionage while on a trip to Iran.
“I just want him to hear about the pain and the struggles that we go through on a daily basis, and just really urge him to act with urgency,” she said. “I think he more than anyone, given everything he’s gone through, would have the empathy to understand the pain that we go through.” “Every single day that they’re there, it’s so difficult and it’s a day that we risk losing them for good and that we really hope that he will act as quickly as possible to bring them home,” she said.
