🇬🇧 **Heartbreaking Update on British Couple Detained in Iran** 🇬🇧
In a troubling turn of events, British couple Lindsay and Craig Foreman, who were detained in Iran during their global motorcycle journey, are still waiting for justice. Arrested in January and charged with espionage, they firmly deny these serious allegations.
Lindsay’s son, Joe Bennett, revealed the heavy-hearted news after a rare 20-minute call from his mum. With spirits visibly low, Lindsay shared that their latest court hearing didn’t go well, and the couple now anxiously awaits a verdict. Joe expressed deep concern, saying, “It’s been 10 months of living a nightmare, with no end in sight. My parents are caught in a slow-moving diplomatic standoff.”
Despite their ordeal, Joe remains hopeful that public support can make a difference. The family has met with Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, yet they feel frustrated by the UK Government’s approach. Joe shared, “It feels like we’re stuck in limbo, with one side waiting for the other to make the next move.”
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office urges all British nationals not to travel to Iran due to significant risks. They’ve stated their ongoing commitment to assisting the Foremans, raising the case with Iranian authorities as they provide consular support.
Our thoughts are with Lindsay, Craig, and their family in these challenging times. Let’s rally together and show them they’re not alone. 🌍✊ #BringThemHome #JusticeForLindsayAndCraig
