LONDON, Feb 19: British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper on Thursday condemned the sentencing of a UK couple in Iran to 10 years in jail for espionage as "completely appalling and totally unjustifiable".
"We will pursue this case relentlessly with the Iranian government until we see Craig and Lindsay Foreman safely returned to the UK and reunited with their family," Cooper said in a statement.
