On the 12th of September, 2018, Australian Academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert was arrested at Tehran’s International Airport in Iran. She spent 804 days incarcerated in Tehran’s Evin and Qarchak prison for espionage, a crime she never committed. She was an innocent Australian stuck in a foreign prison...with no way of getting home. Kylie’s story about her imprisonment, and what happened after she was finally released is unbelievable. Except it really happened. Want more of Kylie? Listen to Mia’s bonus episode with her here.

Kylie Moore-Gilbert is a dual citizen of Australia and the United Kingdom and was arrested in Iran in 2018. She was arbitrarily detained for more than 800 days on espionage charges. She now advocates for others through the Australian Wrongful and Arbitrary Detention Alliance. She speaks with SBS she talks about her experience and Iran's use of hostage diplomacy.
Iran has vowed “revenge” on Israel and negotiations to end the war in Gaza have been thrown into doubt after the killing of a Hamas leader in Iran. Meanwhile, Australians have been urged to leave Lebanon as fighting between Israel and Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah escalates. In the last few weeks, fears of a widening conflict have grown. So why are Israel and Iran at each other's throats? And are we really at the precipice of all-out war in the region? Kylie Moore-Gilbert is an expert in middle eastern politics. She joins Sacha Barbour Gatt on The Briefing to break down the recent increase in violence, and what she thinks is on the horizon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hi Team. I've been under the pump this past weekend, so for today's ep. we're revisiting one of my all-time top 10 TYP chats, with the incredible Dr. Kylie Moore-Gilbert who is an Australian academic who was arrested at Tehran's International Airport in Iran in September of 2018 for a crime that she didn't commit. In fact, a crime that didn't actually happen. She was charged with espionage and subsequently spent 804 days incarcerated in a Tehran prison; an innocent Aussie stranded in a version of hell on earth. Not only did she spend much of her time in total isolation (solitary confinement), but she also endured ongoing abuse, mental torture, deprivation, threats and months of interrogations. In the middle of the darkness, there were moments of sunshine, in the form of some beautiful woman (fellow prisoners) who showed her love and compassion when she needed it most. This is an amazing story of courage, resilience, adaptation and survival. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
After attending a conference she was invited to in the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2018, Australian-British academic Dr. Kylie Moore-Gilbert was arrested by the intelligence arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and eventually sentenced to 10 years in prison on charges of espionage which the Australian government rejected as "baseless.” Two years later, she was released in exchange for three convicted Iranian terrorists connected to a bomb plot in Bangkok in 2012. Two years ago, she published a memoir which became a bestseller: The Uncaged Sky: My 804 Days in an Iranian Prison. From her forced confession and kangaroo court sentencing presided over by Tehran's notorious “hanging judge” Salavati to her solitary confinement and near-escape at the infamous Evin Prison and successful Australia- and UK-led efforts to free her in a prisoner swap, Kylie joins host Cliff May and his FDD colleague Behnam Ben Taleblu to discuss how her time in captivity shaped her current views on Iran's regional aggression, the ‘Women, Life, Freedom' protests, and hostage diplomacy — and how the West can help the Iranian people by not helping the regime.

In this episode, we meet economist Sean Turnell, who was imprisoned in Myanmar in 2022, following a military coup. Turnell spent 650 days behind bars, including two months in a metal room within a room that he calls "the box". He talks to us today about everything from his anxiety over the continued imprisonment of his colleagues from Myanmar, to forming a movement with other Australians who've been wrongfully imprisoned abroad, like Kylie Moore-Gilbert and Cheng Lei. Hosting this episode, which touches on the smuggled books and fruitcake that made Turnell's stint in prison bearable, is former South-East Asia correspondent and now senior reporter, Chris Barrett.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kylie Moore-Gilbert was in solitary confinement for almost 12 months straight. There was no bed, no mattress and no pillows. The toilets made her sick and she wasn't allowed soap to wash her hands. But Kylie wouldn't give in; she went on hunger strikes, scaled a three-storey building and snuck notes to speak to other prisoners. What drove her was the knowledge she'd been jailed for a crime she had not committed.

Kylie Moore Gilbert was locked away in a notorious Iranian prison for 804 days - and she'd done nothing wrong. The academic was arrested at the airport on her way home to Australia, blindfolded, interrogated and then held in isolation. From her cell, Kylie could hear other prisoners screaming. She had no toilet, no one else spoke English and she didn't know if she would ever get home.

Kurdish-Iranian journalist Behrouz Boochani was imprisoned on Manus Island for over six years, and during that time he became acutely aware that oppression takes root when people look away. He was determined to use his sharpest weapon – his words – to survive, and to expose Australia's inhumane treatment of asylum seekers. Now, in 2023, not only is Boochani free, he's also a multi-award-winning author, documentary maker, humanitarian and scholar. His words, and those of other writers and activists, have changed lives, his own included. And they've helped keep us accountable. A scholar of Middle Eastern and Islamic studies, Kylie Moore-Gilbert also spent years unjustly imprisoned in unimaginable conditions. Invited on a study tour of Iran in 2018, Moore-Gilbert was falsely accused of espionage and imprisoned for more than 800 days, including seven months in solitary confinement – before her ultimate release through an Australian-brokered prisoner exchange. Boochani and Moore-Gilbert come together for this special event, presented by PEN Melbourne and the Wheeler Centre to mark the Day of the Imprisoned Writer. With host Karen Percy, these remarkable survivors share their powerful stories, and reflect on the role of writing to shine a light in the darkest places. This event was presented in partnership with PEN Melbourne.It was recorded on Tuesday 14 November 2023 at The Wheeler Centre. The official bookseller was the Sun Bookshop.

We all have assumptions of what citizenship means. However, in recent years we are starting to see the envelop pushed with more common law rights being taken away. From Australia shutting its doors during the pandemic to authoritarian regimes acquiring the habit of turning travellers into political prisoners, where is it becoming too dangerous to go? And if an Australian passport does not protect you, what are you owed by your government? Kylie Moore-Gilbert is a scholar of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies. She was falsely charged with espionage and imprisoned in Iran from September 2018 to November 2020 before being released in a prisoner exchange deal negotiated by the Australian government. Peter Greste is a journalist, author, media freedom activist and professor at Macquarie University. Before joining academia in 2018, he spent 25 years as a correspondent in the Middle East, Latin America and Africa. In 2013, he and two colleagues were arrested in Cairo on terrorism charges. They were convicted and sentenced to seven years in a case regarded as an attack on press freedom. Egypt released Peter after 400 days, and he has since become a press freedom advocate. Ian Kemish AM served as Australian High Commissioner to Papua New Guinea, Ambassador to Germany, Head of the Prime Minister's international division, and Head of the consular service in a diplomatic career that spanned twenty-five years. He is an adjunct professor in history at the University of Queensland, a non-resident fellow with the Lowy Institute, a director of the Australia–Indonesia Centre and an Honorary Fellow of Deakin University. Dr Sangeetha PIllai is a constitutional lawyer and a Senior Research Associate at the Andrew & Renata Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law at UNSW Sydney. She is an expert on Australian citizenship law and the scope of government power over citizens and non-citizens. She has published widely on this topic, and is a regular commentator on legal issues relating to citizenship, immigration and refugees in a range of media outlets.

Dr Kylie Moore-Gilbert, a British-Australian academic, endured 804 days as a rebellious hostage of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) while being accused of being an agent for Mossad, MI6, or a spy for Australia. She was imprisoned in the infamous Evin prison, where she was kept in isolation from the outside world and subjected to relentless interrogations. Despite being told repeatedly that she would be forgotten, Kylie refused to confess and rejected the ever-changing accusations. The Australian government dismissed the charges as baseless, but she was convicted by "the hanging judge" of Iran, and sentenced to 10 years in prison.After a year in solitary confinement, Kylie was suddenly transferred to Qarchak, known as the world's worst women's prison, located on the outskirts of Tehran. Although no evidence was ever presented to support the charges against her, she was subjected to the harshest of conditions.Finally, after a complicated prisoner swap involving four countries, Kylie regained her freedom. In this interview and her book "Uncaged Sky: My 804 Days in an Iranian Prison," she shares the story of her harrowing experience and how she overcame it.You can also listen to my interview with Kylie on my audio book 'You Are Accused', available on Audible.

And remember to subscribe and share. In this special longer-length episode, hosted by Good Weekend editor Katrina Strickland, Kylie Moore-Gilbert talks about everything from the psychotic Revolutionary Guard who fell in love with her, to the federal government's campaign to get her out of prison via quiet diplomatic means (she argues it only worked after the media started reporting her case), to the difficulty of rebuilding her life at home in Australia. Good Weekend senior writer Jane Cadzow, who was given the first interview with Moore-Gilbert for our recent cover story, Prisoner 97029, says the complete isolation appeared to be one of the hardest things for Moore-Gilbert to have had to endure.

Anti-government protests in Iran are into their eighth week and show no sign of letting up, despite a massive crackdown by authorities. So how should the West respond? Kathryn speaks to Kylie Moore-Gilbert - A British-Australian academic held for 804 days in Iran.
The notorious Evin prison in Iran, which holds the Islamic Republic's political prisoners, was on fire over the weekend. Around the country, protests that began over the death of a woman in police custody have now morphed into a broad anti-government movement – the most significant in years. This time, protesters are being more daring than ever before. Some are calling for the death of Iran's supreme leader and flaunting Iran's strict morality laws in the streets. Today, scholar of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies and one-time detainee at Evin Prison Dr Kylie Moore-Gilbert on how far the Iranian protesters are willing to go.

She spent two years and three months in a brutal Iranian prison. In solitary confinement for half of it. For a crime that was entirely made up. The Melbourne University lecturer was attending a conference in Iran when she was randomly captured at the airport and charged with “espionage” based on zero evidence. How do you survive such horror? How do you cope living in a cell with nothing but a scrap of carpet for a year? Not knowing if anyone knows your whereabouts, waiting to be hanged? What is the internal voice that gets you through? Kylie Moore-Gilbert has one of the most incredible stories I've heard. In this interview she is generously open and raw about the mind techniques that can get a human through untold hardship, how she found joy and forgiveness amid it all, how she wrote her book in her head while in prison, and what is left when we lose it all.You can follow Kylie on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/kyliemooregilbert/I highly recommend buying Kylie's book The Uncaged Sky booktopia.kh4ffx.net/7mVXKQThe other book we mention in the chat is Victor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning.Listen to Dr Jud Brewer's chat about curiosity https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/dr-jud-brewer-on-curiosity-as-the-fix-for-anxiety/id1548626341?i=1000536897113 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Australian, Kylie Moore-Gilbert, endured a living nightmare. She was arrested and convicted of espionage in Iran, and then sentenced to 10 years in prison.

The Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police has met and personally apologised to three victims of grooming gangs in Rochdale for failures in the investigation of the sexual exploitation of children.

In August 2018, Kylie Moore-Gilbert, an Australian-British academic travelled to Iran to attend a seminar and conduct academic research. It was her first visit to the country. At Tehran airport on her way back home to Australia, she was arrested by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Accused of espionage, she was imprisoned and later convicted and given a ten year sentence. She spent over two years in prison, half of it in solitary confinement.

Anna broke the news that Ms Murty was a 'non-domicile' resident - meaning she doesn't have to pay tax to the UK authorities on any income that she earns outside Britain, something that is entirely legal. 48 hours after the story broke last Wednesday, Ms Murty announced that she would pay UK taxes on her worldwide income. The actor Sienna Miller has said she took the step of freezing some eggs at 40, following the pressure she felt to have more children.

Imogen joins Emma to discuss, ahead of a lecture she is giving at Gresham College called Freezing Eggs and Delaying Fertility: Law, Ethics and Society, at 1pm on Monday 11 April. It can be viewed online for free. Professor Imogen Goold is Visiting Professor of Medical Law at Gresham College, and Professor of Medical Law at Oxford University.
