Two years in an Iranian prison: Kylie Moore-Gilbert
Episode description
Imagine being locked-up in an Iranian prison for more than two years – when you’re innocent.
Kylie Moore-Gilbert, an Australian expert on Islam, went to Iran in late August 2018 to attend a seminar.
Three weeks later, as she checked-in at Tehran Airport to return home, she was arrested. Iranian authorities accused her of being a spy and she was jailed for 10 years, thrown into a high-security prison run by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Kylie joins us to tell us how she survived, what it was like in solitary confinement in a two-by-two metre cell….and how her family and friends told the world of her plight, eventually securing her release. Her new book is called ‘The Uncaged Sky’
