LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Friday met Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a British-Iranian aid worker who was released after six years of detention in Iran and who has criticised the government for not getting her home sooner.

Zaghari-Ratcliffe returned to London in March when she was released along with another dual national after Britain repaid a historic debt.
