February 16, 2025 - IRAN. British couple arrested in Iran identified
Craig and Lindsay Foreman 
The identities of a British couple previously arrested in Kerman have been confirmed for the first time. The two individuals, Craig and Lindsay Foreman, are currently in detention on security-related charges.
According to HRANA, the couple’s family released a statement yesterday confirming their identities and expressing concern for their well-being. They also stated that they are cooperating with the UK government to ensure their safety and secure their return home.
Last Thursday, the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office of Kerman province announced in a statement that Hugo Shorter, the UK ambassador to Iran, had met with these security-related detainees at the prosecutor’s office in Kerman.
The couple, both in their early 50s, had entered Iran as part of a worldwide motorcycle trip and had planned to travel to Pakistan after a short stay.
No details regarding the charges against the two British citizens have been disclosed so far.
In recent years, Iranian authorities have arrested multiple foreign nationals on charges such as espionage or collaboration with hostile governments. Some of these detainees have been released following political negotiations. Human rights organizations and several Western governments have accused Iran of using such arrests as leverage in diplomatic disputes—an allegation Iranian authorities have consistently denied.
