UK presses Iran on embassy worker
Updated on 05 July 2009
Iran faces mounting pressure from the UK to free British embassy workers being held by the authorities.
The Foreign Office has not been able to verify whether one of the last two remaining behind bars had been set free, after receiving assurances they would be released.
Foreign Secretary David Miliband launched a vigorous defence of the other employee, believed to be the embassy's chief political analyst Hossein Rassam, who is said by his lawyer to face trial for "acting against national security".
