LONDON: The UK government on Saturday named two Britons detained in Iran as Craig and Lindsay Foreman, with their family saying they are determined to ensure the pair’s “safe return”.
The two are currently being held in Kerman, a city and province in southeast Iran, the family said in a statement issued by the British foreign ministry.
“This unexpected turn of events has caused significant concern for our entire family, and we are deeply focused on ensuring their safety and well-being during this trying time,” they said. The family added that it was “united in our determination to secure their safe return”.
“We truly appreciate the outpouring of support from friends, family, and the community, which has provided us with strength and encouragement as we face this ordeal,” said the statement. The BBC reported that the couple are in their early 50s and were on a motorbike trip around the world when they were detained in January.
According to social media posts, the duo crossed into Iran from Armenia in December and were gradually making their way to Australia.
