The son of a British couple detained in Iran, Joe Bennett, spoke to Sky News. He said, he spoke to his mother for the third time in just under 11 months - for the first time she revealed her "true emotions". Mr Bennett said she told him the couple were on a hunger strike. He said, "the fact that the only way to be heard was to stop eating - it tells you about how desperate they are". The couple were charged with espionage in Iran during a motorcycle tour around the world. #skynews #uknews #iran #uknews #worldnews SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
