“It has had a devastating impact on her (Mrs Qasemi) life. It has ruined not only her own life but her kids life as well.

“Ali was a symbol of peace.”

Mr Qasemi never met his third child, who attended court with Mrs Qasemi throughout the trial.

Mrs Sawary said: “The biggest sadness is this baby can’t see his father.”
