Thirty years ago the pop group The Christians released a song to support British hostage John McCarthy kidnapped for five years in Lebanon.

Today they rereleased a refashioned version of the song Man Don’t Cry to send a message of hope and support to British Iranian woman Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe currently being held against her will in Iran.

Singer Gary Christian says the plight of Nazanin and her husband Richard’s hunger strike outside the Foreign Office inspired the band to make the move.

He said: “When you see something like this you feel so impotent, you can’t do anything, you’re sitting there kind of in tears watching this and you think what can we do.”

The Christians invited Richard Ratcliffe and the couple’s daughter Gabriella to Liverpool to record the song retitled Naz Don’t Cry.

He’s urging people to buy it in solidarity with Nazanin and family. All proceeds go to charity.

“I hope people just, even if they don’t like the song, they don’t like me, the Christians or anything, forget that just download,” he says. “We want to raise money, we want to get Nazanin back, back home.”

The song is accompanied by a moving video featuring some of the more emotional moments of the five-year effort to get Nazanin home.

Former hostage John McCarthy told Sky News he welcomed the song being used again and said the video is a powerful watch.

“Looking at the video, it’s taken me back to seeing things after I came back,” he says.

“And you know it’s slow-moving seeing Richard out in Westminster Square on his hunger strike … it’s very powerful, you know. After a couple of viewings one is in tears.”

Nazanin is being held in Tehran against her will and faces being returned to jail on more trumped-up charges.

She was able to join the recording by video call to hear what’s being done in her name.

Her husband Richard told Sky News he hopes it helps raise her spirits.

“It’s a lovely song,” he says. “It’s a nice uplifting song. It’s a song that says don’t be sad, we’re still thinking of you, we’re still battling for you, your husband’s still going, there will be a tomorrow.”

The star of the video is Gabriella, Richard and Nazanin’s daughter, who appears to play the guitar and dreams as well as playing to the cameras.

Mr Ratcliffe said: “Coming up to Christmas she was asking yesterday when’s she coming back, and also why does it have to be my Mummy – and there are no easy answers to that.”

This will be Nazanin’s sixth Christmas apart from her family. Efforts to secure her release are not making progress.

Richard has now done two hunger strikes to highlight her plight.

Her family hope music might make a difference where diplomacy has so far failed.
