Australian academic, Kylie Moore-Gilbert, held in Iran for more than two years has been returned to Tehran’s notorious Evin prison, Al Jazeera reported citing her friends on Friday.
Moore-Gilbert is serving a 10-year jail sentence on charges of espionage. She constantly has refused the charges.
Reports said she disappeared inside the Iranian prison about a week ago and Australian authorities announced that her whereabouts remained unknown.
“During a previous stint at Evin, Moore-Gilbert reported being held in restrictive conditions and needing psychiatric medications for gravely damaged mental health,” Aljazeera reported.
Her friends believe Moore-Gilbert is now being held at the same ward as before. Her facility is controlled by Iran’s hardline Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).
