A British couple detained in Tehran’s Evin prison have reported harrowing conditions as conflict escalates around the Iranian capital. Their son, Joe Bennett, shared that explosions have damaged their prison wing, exacerbating fears for their safety amid ongoing hostilities.
Lindsay and Craig Foreman, sentenced to 10 years on espionage charges they deny, are caught in a dire situation as bombings in the vicinity of Evin prison continue.
