A British couple, Craig and Lindsay Foreman, have lost their appeal against espionage convictions in Iran and remain sentenced to 10 years in prison. The couple, arrested in January 2025 during a motorcycle trip, deny the charges. Their family reports they were not allowed to attend the appeal hearing and are concerned about the legal process. Craig Foreman is on day 25 and Lindsay Foreman on day 16 of a hunger strike in Tehran's Evin prison, with communication cut off.
