Craig Foreman

Craig Foreman and his wife, Lindsay, are a British couple in their fifties who were arrested in Iran in January 2025 while on an around-the-world motorcycle tour. They are from East Sussex. The couple has been sentenced to 10 years in prison on charges of espionage, which they and the British government vehemently deny. The family announced the sentence recently, prompting strong condemnation from the UK Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, who called the sentence “totally unjustifiable”. They are currently being held in Tehran’s Evin prison. Their case is newsworthy due to the severity of the sentence, the ongoing denial of the charges, and the son's appeal to President Trump amidst escalating tensions in the region. The situation is further complicated by the ongoing war, which has intensified conditions within the prison.
