A British couple, Craig and Lindsay Foreman, were arrested in Iran on unspecified “security charges” during their round-the-world motorbike journey. Lindsay, a life coach with a psychology doctorate, and Craig, a carpenter, were detained after crossing into Iran from Armenia. The couple, in their early 50s, had been sharing their adventures on social media.
The Foreman family is working with the Foreign Office to secure their release and expressed concern for their well-being. Despite the risks, Lindsay had described their experiences in Iran as amazing, enjoying the people and landscapes. The couple had left East Sussex for Spain in 2019 and began their journey in October, aiming to reach Australia in 2025.
Photographs show the couple meeting the British ambassador in Iran, moments before their detention. The family’s statement highlights their efforts to ensure Craig and Lindsay’s safety and expresses gratitude for the support received.
