Son of British couple jailed in Iran makes emotional plea to government: ‘We just want them home’

The son of a British couple jailed in Iran has made an emotional plea to government to help free them .

Craig and Lindsay Foreman were detained during a once-in-a-lifetime world motorbike tour 17 months ago and have been sentenced to 10 years on espionage charges – which they deny – and Foreign Office officials say it is “absolutely obvious” they are innocent tourists.

Speaking on Sky News with Trevor Phillips on Sunday (7 June), the couple’s son Joe said: “Not speaking to my mum for a long time Is hard, we just want them home, we really miss them.”
