Espionage charges are ‘made up’, says mother of British woman detained in Iran

Jennifer Rutland said family members had warned the British couple not to visit Iran because they knew it was ‘dangerous’.



Espionage charges against British couple Lindsay and Craig Foreman in Iran are "made up," according to their mother, Jennifer Rutland. The couple, detained in January while on a motorcycle tour, was warned by family not to visit Iran due to safety concerns. Iranian authorities accused them of collecting information under the guise of tourism. The Foreign Office advises against travel to Iran and is raising the case with Iranian authorities. The couple had previously acknowledged the risks of traveling to Iran despite Foreign Office advice.
