Lindsay and Craig Foreman, a British couple, were sentenced to up to 10 years in Iran’s notorious Evin prison on espionage charges following their arrest during a motorcycle tour. Evin, known for its brutal conditions and housing political prisoners, has a history of human rights abuses, including executions and torture.

In recent years, Evin has faced scrutiny due to riots, fires, and external military strikes, exacerbating the dire situation for its inmates.
