Craig and Lindsay Foreman, a British couple imprisoned in Iran's Evin prison, are on an extended hunger strike over detention conditions, according to reports from Iranian Telegram channels. Lindsay is said to have been on strike for 49 days and Craig for 58 days, with both reportedly losing significant weight and suffering deteriorating health.
According to reports circulating in Iranian Telegram channels, British nationals Craig and Lindsay Foreman, held at Evin prison in Tehran, are continuing a prolonged hunger strike to protest their detention conditions, separation from family, and restrictions on basic rights. The reports — attributed to Iranian sources and picked up by the curated feed — state that Lindsay has been on hunger strike for 49 days and Craig for 58 days. Lindsay's health is said to have deteriorated significantly, with symptoms including dizziness, tremors, extreme weakness, low blood sugar, blood-pressure fluctuations, and a weight loss of over 14 kg. Craig has reportedly lost approximately 16 kg.
The reports further allege that the couple is not receiving medications, eyeglasses, books, or hygiene products sent to them by the British Embassy, and that they have been isolated from each other and from their families for 17 months. The claims originate from a single channel and remain unverified by independent Western sources. The Zioneer has no prior reporting on this case, and the account is published with the hedge warranted by its limited provenance.
