A British couple, Craig and Lindsay Foreman, have been detained in Iran on suspicion of security-related charges. The couple, who had been on a motorcycle tour around the world, were last heard from in early January. The news of their detention was reported by Iranian state-run media outlets on Thursday.
The family of the Foremans expressed deep concern over the situation and issued a statement through the UK's Foreign Office. They are actively working with the British government and relevant authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of Craig and Lindsay during this challenging time.
The family is determined to secure the couple's safe return and has been grateful for the support received from friends, family, and the community. British Ambassador to Iran, Hugo Shorter, met with the detained couple at the office of the Public Prosecutor in Kerman, the provincial capital. Details about their case are expected to be announced later by the Kerman Public Prosecutor.
In her last Instagram post on January 2, Lindsay Foreman shared her positive experiences in Iran, highlighting the kindness, humor, and hospitality she encountered during their travels. The couple's unexpected detention has raised concerns among their loved ones, who are focused on bringing them back home safely.
