UK ‘deeply concerned’ for couple held in Iran on spy charges

The UK foreign office on Tuesday says it is “deeply concerned” after Iranian authorities announced they had charged a British couple detained in Iran with espionage.

Husband and wife Craig and Lindsay Foreman were arrested in the southeast of Iran earlier this year.

“We are deeply concerned by reports that two British nationals have been charged with espionage in Iran. We continue to raise this case directly with the Iranian authorities,” the UK foreign office says in a statement.
