Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has condemned Iran's planned execution of dual citizen Alireza Akbari, branding it a 'politically motivated act by a barbaric regime'
Akbari’s wife, Maryam Akbari, told the Guardian she feared her husband could face execution in the next 24 hours.A family friend added: “It’s like an explosion in the life of a person who devoted his life to protect his country. Even if the UK Foreign Office can buy time for their citizen to see and speak to his family, that would relieve some pressure.
Ms Kearns added that Western countries should continue to respond with fresh sanctions against the "barbaric" regime.
