Is it fair? No. Is it right? Absolutely not. Is it bullshit? Fuck yes.
YOU FUCKING WENT TO IRAN THINKING BEING WHITE MEANS THE WORLD IS LIKE BRITTON.
You're practically Bruce Willis wearing the sandwich sign in Harlem in Die Hard, you fucking morons.
What'd you expect?
'Oh cherry-o ol chap, just passing by!'

Skimmed the article... Does it not say why they are in jail?
This feels like propaganda.
Skimmed the article… Does it not say why they are in jail?
Its the 4th sentence in the article
Lindsay, a 53-year-old life coach, and her husband Craig, 52, were on a round-the-world motorcycle trip when they were arrested on suspicion of espionage in January 2025 - charges they adamantly deny.
Ah, so it’s because they’re white/foreign
It says im the first few sentences... espionage.
There is however no evidence of a specific act.
The couple say they were on a motorbike journey from Europe to Australia when they crossed from Armenia into Iran, intending to stay only for a few days. Lindsay was asking people along the route what constitutes a "good life" and was due to present her findings at a conference in Brisbane.
It was this line of questioning that appears to have got the pair into trouble with the Iranian authorities.
Wikipedia says they were charged with espionage without a fair trial.
