British couple detained in Iran plead for Starmer’s help

A British couple, Craig and Lindsay Foreman, who were jailed in Iran for 10 years on spying charges they deny, feel abandoned by the UK government and are urging the prime minister to help them. The couple, held in Tehran’s Evin prison, said they are in a life-threatening situation due to being in an active war zone. They believe the charges against them are based on falsified evidence. The couple’s family spokesperson said conditions inside the prison are rapidly deteriorating, with basic essentials running out and medical care absent. The couple’s son described their detention as a “slow-motion destruction” and said they are sleeping on metal bunks without mattresses and in constant pain. The couple is pleading for public support from UK officials to ensure their safety.
