A British couple held in an Iranian prison are on hunger strike and reported to be in grave condition, according to The Independent. The reports say Lindsay Foreman is surviving on only water as part of the hunger strike, and that she has vowed to continue until death. The couple’s family members describe being “sick with worry” as the hunger strike continues and their health declines. The Independent frames the hunger strike as a way to draw attention to what the family says is happening to them in custody, and notes that Foreman intends to maintain the strike to ensure the situation receives public attention. The available information focuses on the hunger strike itself, the couple’s worsening condition, and the family’s concern, without providing additional details about the underlying legal case, medical assessments beyond general descriptions, or the response from Iranian authorities. The reports also do not specify the couple’s exact detention location, the length of time since the hunger strike began, or any formal demands issued through the strike, beyond the stated intent to keep the issue visible.
