University of Melbourne academic Dr Kylie Moore-Gilbert who disappeared from the Iranian prison system without a trace has been found.
An Australian-British academic who is serving a prison sentence in Iran has been located after mysteriously going missing.
Kylie Moore-Gilbert was recently moved from Iran’s notorious Qarchak prison to an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps safe house after disappearing from Iran’s prison system.
The move was a power play between the military and the Iranian government, the source said.
Her worried friends and colleagues are now relieved that she has been found.
Australian government officials have been informed by Iran’s government that Ms Moore-Gilbert has been moved to Evin Prison.
This is the correctional facility where she was originally sent after being arrested in Tehran in 2018 and convicted for espionage in a secret trial.
The Islamic studies lecturer was sentenced to 10 years prison, despite no evidence of her alleged crimes having been publicly presented.
