The health of a British couple detained in Iran has reportedly worsened during their imprisonment, according to family members. Lindsay and Craig Foreman, both 52, were taken into custody in January while traveling through central Iran on a global motorcycle journey.
Family representatives have expressed serious concerns about the pair’s medical condition. Sources indicate Lindsay recently required intravenous treatment while Craig has suffered recurring illnesses including gastrointestinal infections and influenza, with limited access to proper medical attention.
The couple faces espionage allegations, which they have consistently denied. Their detention occurred during what they described as a tourist visit to the country.
Legal proceedings are underway, though family members report limited information about court developments. The lack of consistent updates from authorities has heightened concerns among relatives.
The couple is believed to be held in separate facilities near Tehran, both known for their challenging conditions according to international human rights organizations.
The situation highlights ongoing tensions between Iran and Western nations regarding the detention of foreign citizens. Travel advisories currently warn against visits to Iran due to security concerns.
Diplomatic efforts continue as representatives work to address the case while providing support to the detained individuals and their families.
