Government officials say Australian academic freed from Iran prison after more than 800 days has arrived back home
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — British-Australian academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert has arrived back in Australia and will soon reunite with her family after more than two years in an Iranian prison. Moore-Gilbert was met by public health officials and members of the Australian Defense Force after disembarking from a plane at Canberra Airport. Foreign Minister Marise Payne has said she will have to undergo quarantine because of coronavirus concerns. The academic was freed earlier this week after 804 days behind bars on spying charges. She was released in exchange for three Iranians who were held in Thailand.
