British Couple Ends Hunger Strike in Iran | UK News

After a grueling 93-day and 84-day hunger strike, British couple Craig and Lindsay Foreman have ended their protest from Iranian prison — a stand against being denied contact with family. Arrested in January for espionage they deny, the couple began fasting in May to highlight systemic mistreatment of prisoners. Their final five days saw UK supporters, including Lindsay’s son Joe Bennett, join them in solidarity. This wasn’t their first fast — last November’s protest was described as a “cry out for help,” but this one aimed for collective action. Recent meetings with UK Middle East officials were seen as promising, with the family urging global pressure to secure their release. Though Sunday marked their first meal in three months, their son says relief is temporary — he won’t stop fighting until they’re home.
