British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday asked Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani to free all dual nationals.

The request included Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe who faces further court action despite her sentence having ended.

“The Prime Minister raised the case of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and other British-Iranian Dual Nationals detained in Iran and demanded their immediate release,” Johnson’s Downing Street office said in a statement.

Britain has called for Zaghari-Ratcliffe to be able to return to her family in the UK, following the official conclusion of her five-year sentence for sedition in Iran on Sunday.
