Lindsay and Craig Foreman were seized in January during a round-the-world motorbike trip
The family of a British couple detained in Iran on espionage charges have said they will keep pushing for their release for years if neededand expressed alarm over ongoing trial proceedings and the pair’s welfare.
Lindsay and Craig Foreman, both 52 and who previously split their time between Spain and England, were seized in January in Kerman, southern Iran, while on a round-the-world motorbike trip.
The family have maintained their innocence and say they “will leave no stone unturned” as the government faces pressure from members of parliament to secure their release.
On Saturday the couple are understood to have had a court hearing in Tehran, with a verdict and sentence expected within 10 days. The family had also requested for a UK Foreign Office official to attend the trial proceedings, which was “not allowed”. It remains unclear whether the Foremans were granted an opportunity to present their defence.
