Kylie Moore-Gilbert's arrest on spying charges was confirmed in September by Tehran. FMTNews Australia
British-Australian academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert is serving a 10-year sentence for espionage in Iran.
Australian ambassador Lyndall Sachs visited Kylie Moore-Gilbert on Sunday at Qarchak Prison, amid heightened concerns for the academic’s health and welfare. A group of her friends last week launched a public campaign to win her freedom, saying that Australia’s strategy of quiet diplomacy had failed. A lecturer in Islamic Studies at the University of Melbourne, Moore-Gilbert’s arrest was confirmed by Iran in September 2019 but it is believed she was detained a year earlier.
