Briefly

The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech while keeping content freely accessible without paywalls. The family of a British couple detained in Iran has urgently requested a meeting with the Foreign Secretary after the pair were suddenly taken to a courtroom in Tehran. Lindsay and Craig Foreman were detained in January during a global motorcycle tour and later charged with espionage, allegations they deny. The family say the couple appeared with a state-appointed lawyer they had only just met and that they had no prior notice of the hearing.
