Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe tells Andy Murray of the joy his Wimbledon victory gave her in prison.
"I was always a big fan of you, but also there I was in solitary confinement watching the match that you actually won in the end," she told Murray. "I can't tell you how joyful it was and I was ecstatic just to see you win."
Listening to her experience of that day had been "quite emotional" and put issues in his own life - like back and knee pain - into context, he said. Iranian authorities alleged she was plotting to topple the government in Tehran. She has always denied the accusations and insisted she had taken her daughter to visit family.Murray, who asked Nazanin several questions about her experience, said he would "feel very angry" if he was in her position.
Nazanin replied: "At times I do feel very angry, but I guess there was a point that I decided I should put the anger away and to not carry it with me, because otherwise it will eat me up for the rest of my life."
