3/"Despite “baseless” charges, academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert has been sentenced to ten years in Iran’s notorious Evin prison. Our government has rejected the charges, but they need to do more." @PeterGreste

4/ In Qarchak prison, says @PearsonElaine, "Hygiene standards are worse and, in the midst of the pandemic and knowing Iran is really grappling with it, this is not a good sign at all."

5/ @mrubin1971's take: "She was in the wrong place at the wrong time. She came to the attention of Iranian officials, who wanted to seize an Australian for future negotiations or simply for good old-fashioned ransom.”

6/ "It will become more difficult if we do not put sufficient resources into her release before the next [Iranian] presidential election" @JessieMoritz theconversation.com/i-kept-silent-…
7/ @BenDohertyCorro reports: "Kylie Moore-Gilbert in good health in Iran with access to medical treatment and books, Dfat says, but few details on meeting, and no suggestion she might be moved from Qarchak" @SabaVasefi @guardian

Hi, my name is Colin Wight. I'm a Professor of International Relations at the University of Sydney. You can find me tweeting on politics, culture, sport, and music at @colwight. I want to take a few moments of your time to highlight the case of Kylie Moore-Gilbert. 1/ #KylieIsUs
Kylie is a young early career researcher (ECR) who has been held in Iran on trumped (no pun intended) up charges of espionage for 768 days now. I don't know Kylie personally, but as senior professor in the field of political science, I've followed her case closely. 2/
Although I've never met Kylie, I know lots of Kylies (and Kens). Enthusiastic young researchers keen to conduct their research and advance knowledge. As a discipline, we have to duty to protect these young researchers. Science also has a responsibility to protect them. 3/

We’re excited to introduce another important member of our campaign, @EleanorChilds94. Kylie Moore-Gilbert was Eleanor's mentor. Eleanor runs our Instagram account, and today is reflecting on the big impact Kylie had on her life and why she working so hard to bring Kylie home 1/7
“I first met Kylie at the beginning of 2018 during a coffee morning organised for Honours, Masters, and PhD students. It was an informal gathering to exchange ideas and solicit some much needed support for the daunting task of thesis writing.” 2/7
While Kylie was not my supervisor, she was always so interested in what I was writing, eager to share her thoughts and to help in any way she could. It was immediately apparent just how intelligent Kylie is and how well she handles complex topics with nuance and great insight 3/

Hi Twitter, my name is Jessie Moritz. I’m another of Kylie Moore-Gilbert’s colleagues and friends involved in running this campaign. I’m new-ish to Twitter, but you can find my alter-ego over here: @JessieMoritz 1/
When I first met Kylie, I was so excited to finally meet somebody else in Australia who worked on #Bahrain. We already had many mutual connections, including Bahrainis who for years had been telling me about the smart, kind, and humble Aussie researcher Kylie from #Melbourne 2/
I graduated in the same year as Kylie – we were both freshly minted PhDs, eager to put our stamp on the world. We connected over our curiosity and love of learning about foreign cultures 3/

Hi Twitter.

Today, we’re sharing some precious memories of #KylieMooreGilbert from Jenny, one of Kylie’s former teachers in #Bathurst

Along with her story, here's an early pic of Kylie, every inch the typical Aussie teenager 🥰 1/
“My first memory of Kylie dates to when their family moved in next door. She was sitting on the nature strip absorbed in a book-aged about 10. It turned out the Moore-Gilberts had also just arrived in Bathurst and…” 2/
“…our daughters were going into the same class at the same school. It seemed to take about 5 minutes for the girls to become great friends”. 3/

This Sunday September 13 marks two years since Dr Kylie Moore-Gilbert was wrongfully imprisoned in Iran. On that day, Kylie’s friends in her hometown of Bathurst will be running in support of their former schoolmate, neighbour and friend #WeRunWithKylie 1/ Image
