UK Foreign Minister Condemns Espionage Sentencing of British Nationals in Iran

British foreign minister Yvette Cooper has denounced the 10-year prison sentence handed down to Craig and Lindsay Foreman, two British nationals detained in Iran on charges of espionage, labeling it as 'totally unjustifiable.'

The UK government remains steadfast in its commitment to advocate for their release, as reiterated by Minister Cooper. Her statement affirmed the ongoing diplomatic efforts to reunite Craig and Lindsay Foreman with their family in the UK.

Meanwhile, the couple's son, Joe Bennett, expressed deep concern regarding the lack of evidence and transparency in the legal proceedings, emphasizing that the Foremans were not permitted a defense during their trial last October.
