Son calls for prisoner exchange for British couple jailed in Iran

Article excerpt

Craig and Lindsay Foreman, a British couple detained in Iran, could be freed through a prisoner exchange, according to their son, who is urging the UK government to pursue the option. The Foremans have been held in Iranian custody, and their family believes a swap, trading prisoners between nations, offers a viable path to their release. The son's appeal comes as the couple remains imprisoned, with diplomatic negotiations continuing behind the scenes. Prisoner exchanges have historically served as a mechanism to resolve detention cases between Britain and Iran, though such negotiations are delicate and often prolonged.
