WEBINAR: Iran ‘Hostage Diplomacy’: What Next?

The arbitrary detention of dual and foreign nationals for use as political bargaining chips has become a favoured tool of Iranian statecraft. IOHR put together an expert panel to discuss why this happens and what must happen next.

Panellists included former detainees, Ana Diamond and Xiyue Wang; Diplomatic Editor of the Guardian, Patrick Wintour; and contributions from former Middle East Minister Alistair Burt and Chatham House’s Deputy Director of MENA Programme, Dr. Sanam Vakil.
