The British-Australian academic says after a fortnight in solitary confinement she was ‘basically having a prolonged anxiety attack’
Members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard attempted to recruit Australian academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert as a spy “many times” during the more than two years she spent as a prisoner in the country, offering to free her if she “made a deal” with the regime, she has claimed.
In a tell-all interview on Tuesday night about the 804 days she spent locked up inside Iran’s notorious Evin prison, Moore-Gilbert said she rejected repeated attempts by guards to get her to agree to spy for Iran in exchange for her release.
