A globetrotting young Australian couple have been locked up in an Iranian prison for flying a drone in the country without a licence.

Mark Finkin and Jolie King are in Tehran’s notorious Evin jail, along with an Australian-British university lecturer who has spent months detained there on a separate matter.
