My monthly op-ed in today's Age / SMH www.theage.com.au/world/north-...

Appeared on this morning's edition of the @7ampodcast to discuss why the IRGC is interested in Australia, how it operates here and what listing it as a terror organisation might actually achieve 7ampodcast.com.au/episodes/kyl...

I had a lot of fun preparing for and recording this podcast. Guests have to choose one film, book, song, object and place to spark discussion. Have a listen! podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/1...

My interview with @abcnewsaustralia.bsky.social PM program on Australia's decision to kick out the Iranian ambassador and, finally, to proscribe the IRGC as a terror organisation www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

1/ For the first time since my academic career was effectively destroyed by my wrongful arrest in Iran in 2018, I have published a peer-reviewed journal article. Still not sure whether academia is where I'm meant to be, but I'm pleased to have finally got a tentative first step back on the ladder.

Panel event: Monday 11 August Macquarie University, Sydney Join myself, Sean Turnell & HRW's Daniela Gavshon as we discuss the geopolitical, legal and human rights implications of wrongful detention. Tickets: events.humanitix.com/the-price-of...

#Podcast Outstanding interview @mattbevan.bsky.social with Dr Kylie Moore Gilbert #IFYoureListening #Iran www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

My interview a couple of days ago with ABC's The Business on the implications of the Iranian strike on Qatar for relations with the Gulf, and the crackdown that is now underway of the Iranian regime against its own people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu4l...

My piece for The Age / SMH on the targeting of Evin prison, the fate of the prisoners inside and why Evin as a symbol cannot be erased by bombs alone. www.theage.com.au/world/middle...

My op-ed for @crikey.com.au There is great danger that now the bombs will stop falling, the regime will turn its attention to recriminations and rounding up innocent civilians to charge with bogus security crimes in order to demonstrate that its domestic coercive power has not weakened.

"As always, the Iranian people will likely pay the greatest price for this war. It remains to be seen whether their self-appointed champions in Tel Aviv and Washington will still be there when it matters," @kmooregilbert.bsky.social www.crikey.com.au/2025/06/23/u...

My op-ed in The Age and Sydney Morning Herald about why regime change can only be delivered by the Iranian people themselves www.theage.com.au/world/middle...

My op-ed in today's Financial Review on why it may be a better strategic option to allow Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to remain in place afr.com/world/middle...

On the death of the head of IRGC-Intelligence and the fate of Iranian prisoners

My thoughts on why Khamenei wasn't targeted for assassination

Who cares whether Scomo received an honour for doing his job, my 100 year old grandmother has been made OAM for her decades of volunteer and community service work, including up to the present day. I'm so proud of her!

So pleased to hear that Australian engineer Robert Pether has been released from prison in Iraq. Robert is currently on bail, can't leave the country and faces the prospect of going back to court for further proceedings, which could carry more jail time.

"Iraqi and Lebanese officials told AP the talks recently stalled over Iran’s demand for the release of one of its citizens detained in Iraq for the killing of an American." apnews.com/article/isra...

1. While this @LowyInstitute piece makes a number of good points, I disagree with its overall pessimism about the prospects for a prisoner swap with Russia. www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpre...

"Death sentences in Iran, especially on charges such as espionage, are issued and carried out without any due process. These executions are extrajudicial killings that the international community should not remain indifferent to.” t.co/Hp3cbw7vtd

Reports that an unprecedented Iran-Iraq-Israel prisoner swap, featuring Princeton researcher Elizabeth Tsurkov is imminent t.co/B4ZCnVRRPf

Utterly wild story, thoroughly researched, showing that someone, with possiblelinks to the regime, tried to assassinate the Australian ambassador to Iran during my time in prison there www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Article in the Australian on the discrepancy in rehabilitation support offered to the surviving 'Bali 9' as opposed to wrongfully detained Australians, some of whom quietly re-enter the country after years of unjust imprisonment with no support at all. www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/bali-...

The Islamic Republic, smarting from the loss of its mass-murdering client Assad and its beloved terrorist proxies, are trying to intimidate and silence all internal opposition to the regime.

It is utterly shocking and outrageous that Reza Khandan, Nasrin Sotoudeh's husband and a fellow activist, has been arrested. Reza is extraordinarily brave, principled, and will certainly play a role in any future democratic Iran. He must be released NOW

دستگیری رضا خندان، همسر نسرین ستوده و یکی از فعالین همکار، کاملاً تکان دهنده و افتضاح است. جمهوری اسلامی با هوشیاری از دست دادن موکل انبوه کشتار خود اسد و دست نشانده های تروریستی محبوبش، سعی در ارعاب و ساکت کردن تمامی مخالفان داخلی رژیم دارد.

CPJP made a submission supporting, in full, the recommendations made by the Australian Wrongful and Arbitrary Detention Alliance, reflecting lived experience. We were thrilled the report adopted these and urge the Australian Government to commit to fully and promptly implementing all 18 recs.

The Australian Wrongful and Arbitrary Detention Alliance has joined with other submitters to the Senate Enquiry into the wrongful detention of Australians to issue a Joint Statement calling on the govt to commit to implementing the Enquiry's recommendations in full. www.awada.com.au/statements
