A British couple jailed on spying charges in Iran have lost an appeal against their convictions, their family has said.
Craig and Lindsay Foreman, both aged 53, were handed 10-year prison sentences in February after being convicted of espionage, which they deny.
The coupleโs family, from East Sussex, have claimed they were not permitted to attend their appeal hearing.
They were jailed after their arrest in January 2025 while travelling through Iran during a round-the-world trip by motorcycle.
Lindsay Foremanโs son, Joe Bennett, said โthe dial needs to shiftโ as he explained the pair โdonโt understand the processโ.
He said: โMy mum, Lindsay, and stepdad, Craig, were not permitted to attend their own appeal hearing.
โWe donโt know if they received a proper account of what was argued on their behalf.
