Rights group says jailed British couple in Iran continue hunger strike
HRANA said Craig and Lindsay Foreman have lost 30 kg combined as they protest denied medical care and family contact.
Imprisoned British nationals Craig and Lindsay Foreman are continuing their lengthy hunger strike inside Tehran's Evin prison to protest their decade-long sentences on espionage charges they completely deny.
A prominent human rights organization reported that the couple's health has deteriorated drastically, with both enduring extreme weight loss, severe physical weakness, and tremors.
Iranian penitentiary officials have allegedly blocked critical medical attention and routinely restricted nurses from conducting necessary wellness checkups on the couple.
The punitive restrictions and communication blackouts intensified after the pair participated in media interviews where they spoken out about prison conditions and domestic executions.
United Nations rights experts have raised urgent alarms over the situation, warning that the couple is facing a medical emergency and indicating that their arbitrary detention mirrors a broader pattern of state-sponsored hostage-taking.
