Craig and Lindsay Foreman were convicted of espionage in February and given a 10-year prison sentence. Both have denied the charges. A family-led campaign group, Free Lindsay and Craig, is working to secure their release. The group stated in a statement that British officials have now met the couple. The Foremans were arrested in July 2023 and have been held without trial. Their family has called for diplomatic intervention. The UK government has expressed concern over their detention. The case has drawn international attention. The couple’s legal team has requested a review of their case. The Iranian authorities have not commented on the meeting.
