UK – The Guardian, July 30, 2025
Son of Lindsay Foreman, held with her husband since January, says British government is neglecting duty of care it owes its citizens.
The son of a British woman who has been held in Iran since January on espionage charges along with her husband has called on the UK government to raise their case during talks with Iran reportedly taking place in Istanbul later this week.
Lindsay and Craig Foreman, both 52, were arrested on 3 January in Kerman, southern Iran, while travelling through the country from Armenia to Pakistan on a motorcycle journey to Australia.
The family, who have not had direct contact with the couple since their incarceration, have said promises from the Foreign Office in the past fortnight to arrange conversations with the couple had not materialised.
Six weeks ago, the Foreign Office said it did not know the couple’s whereabouts, despite initially having said they were being transferred to Evin prison in Tehran.
