    Their charge is espionage, which is apparently somewhat dubious.

    I’m not sure why anyone (especially a western woman) would consider Iran as a tourism destination.

        Oh I don’t doubt the people are cool.

        I just can’t understand tourism to extreme authoritarian states. I can’t personally justify the risk, which is entirely my thing and I shouldn’t project.

    Hopefully the British government can do some diplomacy and get them out. I wonder if they have inmate commissary accounts in Iran.

      If they’re gonna do it, I hope they get a better deal than when Biden traded a notorious international arms dealer for… a WNBA player 😮‍💨
