Britain’s Iran prison sentence has been extended by two years, the family said

Last week, the US-based human rights group Harana said it received reports that Craig Forman, 16 kilograms (35lb), and Lindsey Forman were suffering from dizziness and tremors.

Their families said that they did not receive a letter to end their hunger strike, they did not have medicine and other basic supplies.

“Mom and Craig are 18 months into an ordeal they should never know,” Bennett said.

“They’re weak, they’re hungry, and now Craig is being punished just because he was heard. Adding two more years to an innocent man who has no chance of defending himself in secret is a violation of the most basic rights anyone deserves.”

Last month Two UN human rights experts have questioned Iran. In order to exonerate the couple, the charges against them were grossly flawed.

“Lindsay and Craig Foreman should not be in prison,” said UN Special Rapporteurs Dr Alice Edwards and Mai Sato.

“They appear to have been arbitrarily detained, charged on highly questionable grounds and sentenced to trials that failed to meet basic fair trial guarantees.”

The State Department has recommended banning all travel to Iran from 2022.

He previously said he was working to ensure the Formans’ safe return to the UK and the couple’s health and safety was his “priority”.

The couple’s families welcomed the appointment on Monday of Britain’s first-ever envoy to support British nationals detained abroad over security, due process or human rights concerns.

The role will be held by former Conservative MP and Middle East Minister Alistair Burt.

The families of Lindsay and Craig Foreman said they look forward to meeting him and hope his appointment will have a positive impact on their case.
