(BBC) – A British woman who was detained by Iran has told the BBC it was hard to remain positive in prison, hours before she and her husband were sentenced to 10 years for espionage.
Lindsay and Craig Foreman were arrested while passing through Iran on a round-the-world motorcycle trip in January 2025.
In a rare telephone interview from Tehran’s notorious Evin prison, Lindsay likened their detainment to “an endurance test for the mind” and said being in jail had taken a physical toll on her.
While the couple – who deny the accusation against them – has not spoken since the sentencing, her son described the decision as “gut-wrenching”.
