Son asks Starmer to free parents from Iran prison
British couple Lindsay and Craig Foreman have been held in an Iranian prison for 15 months on espionage charges. Their son, Joe Bennett, is now urging Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper to push for their release during Starmer's Gulf trip. He cites a new two-week ceasefire and the recent release of two French citizens from Evin prison as an "opportune moment."
