Marking 500 days of Lindsay and Craig Foreman’s imprisonment in Iran
On Wednesday 20th May 2026, family, friends and supporters will gather in central London to mark 500 days since Lindsay and Craig Foreman were arbitrarily detained in Iran. A motorbike procession led by former Councillor Adrain Kriss, will proceed from Kensington to Parliament Square where the Adventure Motorcycle riders will meet with supporters and family to greet MPs arriving for Prime Minister’s Question Time. A petition will be presented at Downing Street by members of the family that afternoon.
This will then be followed by an adjournment debate in parliament concerning the imprisonment of Lindsay and Craig Foreman in Iran which will be brought by Tony Vaughan MP on Thursday 21st May 2026 at 5pm.
The Foreman’s family, supported by the Free Lindsay and Craig campaign, are calling on national media to attend and cover this major public mobilisation, designed to show British public support for the couple’s plight and to amplify calls for urgent government action.
Family members, MPs and other campaign supporters will be available for interviews.
WHY THIS ACTION IS HAPPENING
After seventeen months without answers, and now amidst further concerns about the health and wellbeing of Craig and Lindsay who have had all means of communication removed, the family are mobilising a large-scale, highly visible public event to ensure Lindsay and Craig’s situation receives the national attention it urgently deserves.
This coordinated day of action will:
● Raise national awareness of the couple’s ongoing detention and the need for urgent intervention.
● Bring together supporters, parliamentarians, NGOs and the public in a collective act of solidarity.
● Deliver the petition to 10 Downing Street, symbolising the breadth of public support.
● Prepare Parliament for an Adjournment Debate the following day
