Lindsay and Craig Foreman have already spent 400 days in a hellhole prison amid repeated efforts from the UK to get them released.

Ms Foreman said: "We have so few tools at our disposal, we have no voice: all we can do is write letters and go on hunger strike.

"We need to exercise our right to be heard by their legal system - to say what you're doing is unfair and unjust - and we are prepared to suffer ourselves to make that understood."

The Foremans, in their 50s, were arrested on January 3 last year on a world motorcycle tour and charged with spying, which they have always denied.
