LONDON: Nicholas Pelham, The Economist’s Middle East correspondent, was paying his bill at a Tehran hotel in July 2019 when he was detained.
Pelham — who had acquired a rare journalist’s visa to Iran after three years of applying — had arrived in the country during a period of heightened tensions between Tehran and London.
An Iranian judge gave authority for him to be detained and questioned for 48 hours, but Pelham could not leave Iran for seven weeks.
