British Couple Jailed 10 Years in Iran on Espionage Charges During World Trip

• Craig and Lindsay Foreman, a British couple on a round-the-world bike trip, sentenced to 10 years in an Iranian prison on espionage charges.
• The couple, in their 50s from East Sussex, were arrested in January 2025 while traveling through Iran; allegations of spying are denied by them and their family.
• They appeared before the Tehran Revolutionary Court in October last year for a short hearing, where they were not allowed to present a defense.
• Held in separate sections of Evin prison, family members express deep concern for their well-being and the lack of transparency in the judicial process.
• The British government condemned the sentence as "totally unjustifiable" and vowed to relentlessly press for their release amid broader geopolitical tensions.
