Concerns promises won't be kept over East Sussex couple detained in Iran, family say
Craig and Lindsay Foreman are being permitted to see each other once a week - but there's concerns it won't happen
The family of an East Sussex couple detained in Iran since January are worried fresh promises made after an ambassador visit won't be kept.
Craig and Lindsay Foreman are being permitted to see each other once a week, after being imprisoned separately since being accused of espionage in January.
The visit marked the first in four months for Craig, who's previous meeting was swapped for a court appearance, in which their family say they are still awaiting the outcome of.
The couple are sleeping in metal beds in hot rooms crammed with tens of other people.
Joe Bennett, Lindsay's son, told us: "It would have a very good impact for them to be able to see each other weekly.
"I think that was promised a little while ago and as far as we're aware, it hasn't yet happened.
"It is one thing saying that they can and another thing allowed them to do it. But if the if it can happen more frequently than it is, then yes, it's a bonus."
He explained that it's not the first time the family have been let down: "We've had a couple of phone calls that were promised to us and for for reasons that are not in our control, they didn't go ahead
"That was a really, really hard thing to take because I didn't hear my mum's voice for seven months and you've got the hope that you're going to hear it for the first time and the phone never rings.
"That whole day you're just sat there waiting for it to call.
"This is the reality of what they're facing, what we're facing. There's going to be more down the line."
