I expect she did. According to her husband, she was told that her detention was because of the money owed to Iran for undelivered Chieftain tanks, which I doubt if she anticipated. A court ruled that the money was owed as long ago as 2009. The UK government would not publicly acknowledge the linkage because it "did not want to encourage hostage diplomacy", which in itself is rational, and says it didn't pay because of the sanctions - but it has paid now.

I'm not saying she didn't make what turned out to be an unwise choice, I just think that attacking her for being "ungrateful" is cheap, unkind and unnecessary, as well as inaccurate.
