Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Two Britons detained in Iran while on a round-the-world motorcycle trip have been sentenced to 10 years in prison by a revolutionary court for "spying," their family said Thursday.
Husband and wife Craig and Lindsay Foreman, who were convicted and sentenced in a trial at which they were not permitted to present a defense, have been held in Tehran's notorious Evin prison since they were arrested in January 2025.
The British government reacted with anger Thursday at what it said was an "appalling" ruling, vowing to secure their release.
"This sentence is completely appalling and totally unjustifiable. We will pursue this case relentlessly with the Iranian government until we see Craig and Lindsay Foreman safely returned to the U.K. and reunited with their family," said Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper.
