It said Lindsay Foreman had not received a medical check-up for about 10 days despite dizziness, body tremors, and severe weakness.HRANA said the couple had recently been allowed to speak by telephone with their lawyer but remained barred from contacting family or each other. It said medicines, eyeglasses, books and hygiene items sent by the British embassy had not been delivered despite approval from prison medical staff and ward officials.The Foremans were arrested in January 2025 while traveling through Iran by motorcycle and were sentenced to 10 years in prison each on espionage charges, a conviction upheld on appeal in June. They have denied the accusations, saying no evidence was presented against them and they were not given an opportunity to defend themselves.A view of the entrance sign of Evin prison in Tehran, Iran October 17, 2022.

Tehran has rejected those accusations and said the cases involved legitimate security concerns.Follow us on Google
