An Australian couple who spent more than three months detained in Iran have been freed in an apparent prisoner swap deal between the Morrison government and Tehran.
Attorney-General Christian Porter said that after considering the circumstances of the case, he decided Mr Kivi should not be extradited to the US. "While the past few months have been very difficult, we know it has also been tough for those back home who have been worried for us," they said. Senator Payne said it was a "source of great relief and joy to everyone" that the couple's ordeal was now over".
The UK Foreign Office said at the time Mr Raab had "raised serious concerns about the number of dual national citizens detained by Iran and their conditions of detention".
