GWT summer: Terror, loneliness, a lovesick guard: Kylie Moore-Gilbert’s 804 days in a Tehran jail

We'll be back in late January 2023 with plenty of exciting interviews booked in the calendar.

But for now enjoy one of our most popular episodes from the past year. And remember to subscribe and share.

In this special longer-length episode, hosted by Good Weekend editor Katrina Strickland, Kylie Moore-Gilbert talks about everything from the psychotic Revolutionary Guard who fell in love with her, to the federal government’s campaign to get her out of prison via quiet diplomatic means (she argues it only worked after the media started reporting her case), to the difficulty of rebuilding her life at home in Australia.

Good Weekend senior writer Jane Cadzow, who was given the first interview with Moore-Gilbert for our recent cover story, Prisoner 97029, says the complete isolation appeared to be one of the hardest things for Moore-Gilbert to have had to endure.

You can read Jane's story, Terror, loneliness, a lovesick guard: Kylie Moore-Gilbert’s 804 days in a Tehran jail, here.
