Reuters - Iran has temporarily released British resident Aras Amiri on furlough, Amnesty International United Kingdom board director Daren Nair tweeted on Thursday.

�British resident and Londoner, Aras Amiri who has been unjustly imprisoned in #Iran�s Evin Prison since 2018 with Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has been temporarily released on furlough,� Nair wrote. �The Iranian authorities must let her come home to London to be with her fianc�.�

Last August, Iran�s Supreme Court upheld a 10-year prison sentence for spying against Amiri, who worked for the British Council in London. Amiri was arrested in 2018 during a family visit to Iran.
