A British couple jailed in Iran on espionage charges have finally been visited by UK officials after 112 days without consular access, following a prolonged hunger strike that left the husband 17kg lighter. Lindsay and Craig Foreman, who face 10-year prison sentences, remain detained at Tehran's Evin Prison as their family fights for their release and regular contact.

The visit on 5 October marked the first time British officials had seen the couple since 15 June, offering their family a long-awaited update on their condition after months of restricted communication.
