Lindsay Foreman, who is now surviving on only water, has vowed to continue her hunger strike until death ‘to make sure everyone sees what is happening here’
The family of a British couple on hunger strike in an Iran jail say they are “sick with worry” as the pair ramp up their hunger strike after 10 weeks without food.
Lindsay Foreman, who has not eaten in 66 days, has reportedly vowed to continue her strike until death to expose their treatment inside Tehran’s notorious Evin prison.
She and her husband Craig Foreman were arrested on a once-in-a-lifetime world motorbike tour 18 months ago, and were later sentenced to 10 years in prison on espionage charges, which they completely deny.
Mr Foreman, who has not eaten in 75 days, last week had his sentence extended by a further two years for speaking to the press in a hearing with no lawyer or translator, the family said.
