Briton jailed in Iran given additional two-year sentence, family says

British citizen Craig Foreman, along with his wife Lindsay Foreman, has reportedly received an additional two-year prison sentence in Iran after speaking to the media, according to their son Joe Bennett. The couple was arrested in 2025 during a round-the-world motorcycle trip. British officials have condemned the original sentences as 'totally unjustifiable,' and the Foreign Ministry is now urgently contacting Iranian authorities regarding the new sentence. Independent U.N. experts previously raised concerns about the couple's detention and sentencing process, citing violations of fair trial rights and noting their ongoing hunger strike.
