Anoosheh Ashoori is a British - Iranian businessman detained in jail in Iran. Iranian authorities arrested Ashoori in August 2017, when he was in the country to visit his mother.  Ashoori, and  Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, were released on 16 March 2022. 

Anoosheh is a quietly spoken professional engineer who had to adjust overnight to terrifying dystopian life in jail and find the strength to assert his humanity after experiencing the depth of despair. His story is an uplifting account of the indomitable human spirit, although it has to be admitted that Anoosha's first food request on his return was for fried chicken - Food for the soul.
