British couple sentenced to 10 years in Iran prison

A British couple from East Sussex have been have been sentenced to 10 years in prison in Iran for espionage, their family says.

Lindsay and Craig Foreman were arrested while passing through Iran on a round-the-world motorcycle trip in January 2025.

While the couple - who deny the accusation against them - has not spoken since the sentencing, her son, who lives in Folkestone, described the decision as "gut-wrenching".

Meanwhile, Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper called it "completely appalling and totally unjustifiable".
