British Couple Detained in Iran on Security-Related Allegations

Craig and Lindsay Foreman, on a motorcycle journey to Australia, are being held in Kerman, prompting efforts by their family and UK authorities to secure their release.

Craig and Lindsay Foreman, a British couple in their early fifties, were detained in Iran in January while traveling on a global motorcycle trip.
Iranian state media has accused the couple of unspecified security-related offenses, though no formal charges have been disclosed.
The couple was last known to be traveling in Kerman, Iran, after entering the country from Armenia and sharing positive social media updates about their experiences.
The UK Foreign Office is in contact with Iranian authorities and providing consular assistance as the couple’s family works to secure their safe return.
The detentions occur amid ongoing tensions between Iran and Western nations, with similar cases of foreign nationals being detained in the country in the past.
