#1570 Innocent In An Iranian Prison - Dr. Kylie Moore-Gilbert
Manage episode 426380629 series 2079406
Hi Team. I’ve been under the pump this past weekend, so for today’s ep. we’re revisiting one of my all-time top 10 TYP chats, with the incredible Dr. Kylie Moore-Gilbert who is an Australian academic who was arrested at Tehran’s International Airport in Iran in September of 2018 for a crime that she didn’t commit. In fact, a crime that didn’t actually happen. She was charged with espionage and subsequently spent 804 days incarcerated in a Tehran prison; an innocent Aussie stranded in a version of hell on earth. Not only did she spend much of her time in total isolation (solitary confinement), but she also endured ongoing abuse, mental torture, deprivation, threats and months of interrogations. In the middle of the darkness, there were moments of sunshine, in the form of some beautiful woman (fellow prisoners) who showed her love and compassion when she needed it most. This is an amazing story of courage, resilience, adaptation and survival.
