Iran

Iran has been on our list of countries to visit, but not until things improve (if ever)
 
From what I've read they knew they were going to Iran and were warned off but ignored the warnings but 'wanted to find out for ourselves'. I couldn't care less about them.
I agree with your sentiment but hope they get help from our government. Unlikely though.

They'll get whatever help the UK can offer but they are not the easiest to negotiate with, and it could take years rather than months.

They don't even live in the UK any longer. I understand that doesn't change their citizenship status but frankly if you are a grown up adult as they are and make your own choices as they did, ignore all the warnings because they knew better, the consequences really are their own. I'm sick of rights but no responsibilities.
 
Hanging is the preferred method of execution in Iran, although stoning and crucifixion offer alternative options for an ever-vengeful theocracy. Death by hanging is not necessarily quick. Strangulation and suffocation can take several minutes. The UN says more than 600 people have been judicially murdered so far this year. Iran has more executions per capita than any country in the world. Since June’s US and Israeli attacks, growing numbers of victims are political dissidents.

Fifty days on, nothing remotely positive has resulted from the illegal bombing raids and missile strikes mounted by the US president, Donald Trump, and Israel’s leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, despite their boasts of world-changing success. Iran’s nuclear facilities were not obliterated, as Trump claimed. Tehran has not abandoned uranium enrichment. The regime did not fall, despite Netanyahu’s call for an uprising. If anything, the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is more defiant. He has since launched a new crackdown on opponents, hence the executions.
