British Couple Faces Iran Prison on Espionage Charges

0:00On March 26, a British couple from East Sussex, Lindsey Foreman and her husband Craig, both 53, faced 10 years in Tehran's Evan Prisonon, espionage charges they strongly deny. The pair landed there after Iranian authorities arrested them in January of last year during around the world motorcycle adventure. Recent strikes by the United States and Israel have brought the conflict right to their doorstep, with missiles and drones buzzing overhead. Prison shared in her first interview since the attacks began on February 28th that the prison shook from the blasts during those initial nights. Prisoners scrambled for cover under bunk beds amid screams and panic, hyperventilating in the chaos. With no fire escapes or way outside, Foreman worries a collapsing building could end it all for them. She has made peace with the risk of dying inside, accepting the reality of their situation. UK officials call the sentences appalling and unjust, prioritizing the couple's welfare while warning against any travel to Iran.
