A British couple who have been detained in Iran have been named as Craig and Lindsay Foreman, as their family say they are ‘significantly concerned’ over the pairs safety. Mr and Mrs Foreman were detained in the southeastern city of Kerman on Wednesday after Iranian state media confirmed a man and woman were in custody on security charges.

The family of Britons Craig and Lindsay Foreman, who have been detained in Iran, said the situation was causing “significant concern”. They were reportedly detained in January but Iran’s state-run media revealed this week they had been accused of security-related offences.
