Sky News host Chris Smith says the release of Australian-British academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert has overwhelmingly favoured the Iranian regime following reports of a "prisoner swap". Mr Smith said Australians should never forget the 804 days the Iranians used to get a reward "for a gang of its worst killers" in what he said had become Iran's "go-to hustle". "So the Iranians finally freed Australian-British academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert.
" In footage aired by State TV, Ms Moore Gilbert was shown wearing a grey hijab, sitting at what was thought to be a waiting room at Mehrabad International Airport in Tehran. "Soon after, three prisoners - who it's widely believed had been imprisoned in Thailand for acts of terror in 2012 - were brought into the room with Iranian flags over their shoulders," Mr Smith said.

Liberation site helps Iranian women 'fighting to get their identity back' from regime | Sky News AustraliaIranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad says her website dedicated to women who clash with Iranian authorities is to help show the “true face of the Iranian people” and help liberate women who do not want to be under the oppressive regime. \n\n“Being a woman means you have to fight for your rights every day in Iran so basically it’s not only me, it’s millions of others who are actually fighting to get their identities back,” she told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. \n\nMs Alinejad said her campaign showed what Iranian people want to look and act like and wish to cast off their “fake identity” and demonstrate what Iran is really like.\n\n“They want to show to the rest of the world there is no freedom of speech, there is no freedom of expression, there is no freedom of religion, and you’re not even allowed to peacefully protest.” \n AlinejadMasih Not our problem, stop meddling AlinejadMasih Wow, an actual 'news' article without a bigoted commentary. For a fleeting moment, I thought it was the ABC. AlinejadMasih Retweet sky news if you like, but keep in mind they despise freedom and multiculturalism
