Summary
British couple Craig and Lindsay Foreman, both 53, face a grim legal battle in Iran after their appeal against espionage convictions was denied — a verdict they say is false. Arrested in January 2025 during a global motorcycle trip, the couple now endure hunger strikes in Tehran’s Evin prison, cut off from all contact, while their family struggles to understand the opaque Iranian justice system. Their son revealed his parents were pressured to sign documents they couldn’t read — and refused. The UK government, while disappointed, continues diplomatic efforts, including ambassador visits and family calls, as the case heads to Iran’s supreme court — all while urging Britons to avoid Iran due to extreme detention risks.
