Iran has transferred an Australian-British academic serving a 10-year-sentence for espionage to one of its most notorious prisons, which activists describe as rife with disease and violence.
Kylie Moore-Gilbert, a lecturer on Middle East politics at the University of Melbourne, had been held in northern Tehran’s Evin prison for nearly two years. In what appears to be a form of punishment, she’s been moved to Iran’s notorious Qarchak women’s prison, located east of the capital.
