A British woman sentenced to ten years in jail by an Iranian court says she has come to accept she may die behind bars, and fears the war could leave no one within the regime able to secure her release.
Speaking from inside Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison in her first interview since the war began, Lindsay Foreman told ITV News about life under bombardment.
She exists in a prison shaken by conflict, but where she runs laps of the courtyard and bakes shortbread for fellow inmates, to provide small comforts against the sound of explosions.
“When the bombs were going off at night, in those first four nights, we were all hiding under the bed”, she told me.
“So we were in metal-framed bunk beds, and we would get into the bottom bunk. People were hyperventilating, screaming.
