The son of a British couple detained in Iran has expressed his concern for their welfare after the UK's embassy was closed in Tehran amid the deadly crackdown on anti-regime protests.
Joe Bennett's parents, Craig and Lindsay Foreman, were on a trip around the world when they were arrested by Iranian authorities in January last year and charged with spying.
Speaking to the BBC's Newsnight programme, Bennett said the couple are in a "dangerous position" and that there was "overcrowding" in the jail due to the protests.
He added that the Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO) told him they were still "assessing the situation".
The FCDO previously told the BBC it continued to raise the case of the Foremans directly with the Iranian authorities.
