British woman jailed in Iran to appear in court

A British-Iranian woman serving a five-year jail sentence in Tehran for alleged sedition will appear in court on December 10 on charges of spreading propaganda, her husband said Thursday, according to AFP.

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who works for the Thomson Reuters Foundation (TRF) -- the media organization's philanthropic arm -- was told about the court date by the country's deputy prosecutor yesterday, Richard Ratcliffe said.
