…well, however ill-considered/irresponsible etc their actions, I wish them safely back with their family soon…I don’t know if their home is UK or Spain…I know that they appeared on A New Life in the Sun one time, following a move to Spain…

…I’m not sure whether they’re arrested as such/they’re being detained on ‘security grounds’…and thats sadly the only reasoning used by some country officials…hence the UK government advice of citizens not travelling to Iran…

They both have British passports, the FO advises against travel as holding a British passport can get you detained...and here we are

Some countries do not need an excuse. I hope they get back safe but I have very little sympathy for them.

Well you are a better person than me Niamh .
In the world we live in we are fully aware of the dangers and injustices dealt out in other countries...we have seen people kidnapped and held to ransome...we have seen people locked up for years in appalling conditions accused of spying with little or no evidence...these countries do what they like. Its not like this couple are on a trip of discovery and exploration for the good of the world. They went because they wanted to...but they knew the risks and they gambled and now they are paying the price. So little sympathy from me.

…it’s all too recent that we’re aware of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe who was detained for around 7/8 years or similar because it was when Boris was PM and apparently an ‘outstanding debt’ was paid to secure her release…/…although I don’t think that any of us believe that was the ‘simplicity’ of it all…

do we have any numbers for how many british tourists go sightseeing in iran each year? I can't believe it is more than a small handful. I find it very odd

[Detained Britons Craig and Lindsay Foreman
have been charged in Iran with espionage,
the country's judiciary news agency has said.

Mr and Mrs Foreman were arrested
in January but news of their detention,
on unspecified security charges,
emerged last week.

Judiciary spokesman Asghar Jahangir
said that the couple, both aged 52, had
"entered Iran under the guise of tourists"
and "gathered information in
multiple provinces of the country".


The pair moved from East Sussex to start
a new life in Andalucia, Spain, in 2019
and had appeared on an episode of
Channel 4's A New Life in the Sun
in 2022 to showcase
their lives as expats.]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c743jle3vkno





When She Post's on Instagram
about her personal views of Iran,
that is viewed as Illegal by Iran Officials.


She is Stupid to not think her Instagram posts
would give any viewing it,
that Iran is a Free Country



Iran must give permission.
it is so simple
