Brown criticises Iran over detention of UK embassy staff
GORDON Brown described the detention of British Embassy staff in Tehran as "unacceptable" and "unjustified" today as he called for the release of those still being held.
The Prime Minister said: "We are deeply disappointed that Iran has detained some of Britain's staff in Tehran.
"Some have now been released but we must now see that the others are set free to resume their work."
He added that Iran's actions were "unacceptable, unjustified and without foundation, and we, with our international partners, will continue to make this clear to the Iranian regime".
