Family handoutThe son of a British couple detained in Iran has said that they do not have clean drinking water.
Lindsay and Craig Foreman of East Sussex were arrested by Iranian officials in January on allegations of espionage, which was denied by his family.
“Can you imagine being in a cell with more than a dozen people … where it’s not safe to drink water from the tap?” His son Joe Bennett said, who is from Kent.
Foreign, development and Commonwealth Office have been contacted for comments.
Mr. Bennett said that Mr. and Ms. Foreman do not have any money, which needs to buy the necessary bottled water and toilet paper in the jail.
He said that they are relying on the generosity of fellow prisoners what they want, he said.
Mr. Bennett called his parents to the Foreign Office to get money.
“It is difficult to believe what they are permanent,” he said.
“It’s not about rest. It is about existence. Water, food, soap – bare minimum.
“We still do not know the real state of his health and goodness.
“This is necessary. They now need support. Not next week. Not more meetings – now.”
The temperature in Tehran, the capital of Iran, where Mr. Foreman is being held separately from his wife, average at 35 ° C in August.
Ms. Foreman, who was on a lifetime motorcycle trip with her husband at a time around the world, was placed inside the female-cavity Qarchak jail when she was detained.
NGO Iran human rights are called convenience “One of the deepest symbols of violation of systematic human rights“in Iran.
Violence, misconduct, congestion, immoral drinking water, lack of basic facilities and insufficient healthcare have also been documented by the NGOs in the jail.
Mr. Foreman has been detained in Fashfoeh Jail, where similar issues have been reported.
Brendon O’Hara, Vice Chairing of All-Periodical Group for arbitrary preventive and mortgage cases, first told the BBC that the Eastern Sussex couple were “bargaining chips” between Iran’s government and western states.
Iran has placed British citizens in the past to put pressure on Britain amid political controversies.
