British couple Lindsay and Craig Foreman have entered the third week of a hunger strike in Iran's Evin Prison after family members said they were left feeling they had no other way to protest their continued detention.
Craig Foreman began refusing food on 9 May, while his wife Lindsay joined the hunger strike on 18 May after prison authorities allegedly cut off their access to telephone cards, ending regular contact with relatives in the UK. The couple have been held in Iran for more than 500 days and were sentenced earlier this year to 10 years in prison on espionage charges, which they deny.
