In the past, the Royal College of Psychiatrists has been very active challenging abuse in relation to psychiatry; I distinctly remember, for example, Dr S. Bloch and others successfully exposing abuse of psychiatry in the former Soviet Union in the 1970s.
Why is the College silent about the antediluvian treatment recently endured by Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe in Iran? Simply by exposing such barbaric practice on the international stage and using its authority, the College may succeed where others have failed, namely in ensuring her immediate release.
