Son reports parents’ 10-year Iran prison sentence causes distress

British nationals Lindsay and Craig Foreman have been sentenced to 10 years in prison for alleged espionage in Iran, a ruling condemned by Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper as “completely appalling.” Their family describes the trial, lasting only three hours, as lacking due process, with the couple denying all charges. The Foremans were arrested in January 2025 during a motorcycle journey and have spent over thirteen months in detention. This case highlights concerns over Iran’s treatment of foreign nationals amid rising regional tensions.
