‘Detained, arrested, tortured': Former political prisoner discusses capture by Iran
Australian Academic and former political prisoner in Iran Dr Kylie Moore-Gilbert discusses the strikes by Israel which have killed 'truly evil' top Iranian officials.
Ms Moore-Gilbert spent 804 days in a brutal Iranian prison after she was seized and interrogated by Revolutionary Guards in September 2018 when she attempted to board a plane to Australia from Iran.
'There's a real fear and real trepidation, but at the same time, there is a sort of spirit of hope and even celebration that some of these truly evil top IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] and other regime officials have been assassinated,' Ms Moore-Gilbert told Sky News Australia.
'Including the head of the IRCG's intelligence branch, which detained, arrested, tortured, kidnapped me for more than two years of my life … on a personal level, I'm glad to see him gone.'
