Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe told how watching the tennis ace at Wimbledon gave her a 'connection' to the outside world and offered her an 'escape' from her six-year detention.
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has recalled watching Sir Andy Murray win Wimbledon from solitary confinement in an Iranian prison, during an emotional meeting with the British tennis star. The 44-year-old British-Iranian dual national said Sir Andy offered a "connection" to her life outside prison and an "escape" from her six-year detention.
Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe was joined in the BBC studios by her husband Richard and eight-year-old daughter Gabriella. In her interview with Sir Andy, Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe said: "When I was first arrested I was in Evin prison in solitary confinement, and for about five months they didn't allow me to have any books or newspapers.
"They had no idea what they had given me because I was always a big fan of you, but also there I was in solitary confinement watching the match you actually won in the end." "The people who were with me in that period, they knew you even though they'd probably never heard your name before - they knew who you were, which game you won and that was quite something for me - it felt like a connection, it felt like escape.
"You seem absolutely fine now, but I'm thinking if I was in that situation or someone that I knew was in that situation I'd feel angry about that, but you seem well." Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe replied: "At times I do feel very, very angry, but I guess there was a point that I decided that I should put the anger away because otherwise it will eat me up for the rest of my life.
