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 charges were baseless; the trial was a sham.

Kylie became a pawn in a high stakes geo-political negotiation.

How did she survive over 800 days of interrogation, psychological torture, and imprisonment, in Iran? What did it take to free her? Why was she arrested in the first place?

Paul Barclay talks to Kylie Moore-Gilbert.

Recorded at the Queenscliffe Literary Festival, on May 14, 2022.

Speaker:

Dr Kylie Moore-Gilbert — author; Middle East and Islam scholar.
