Fears are rising of a suspected coronavirus outbreak at the Iranian prison where Australian Kylie Moore-Gilbert has been held since 2018

until next month. Though for the guards there is still a constant supply of antiseptic soap and sanitary gel, to make sure they stay safe."An Amnesty International spokesperson said their research into Evin Prison pointed to inhumane and unsanitary conditions."Chronic overcrowding, severely limited hot water, poor ventilation and infestations of cockroaches and mice, particularly near kitchen areas, are among common complaints," said the spokesperson.

The Australian government has highlighted that Iran has the highest risk of coronavirus outside of China and is strongly recommending a 14-day isolation period to anyone coming to Australia from Iran."To date their willingness to share information about what's really going on inside of the Islamic Republic of Iran has not been robust," he said in Washington.Iran yesterday reported eight more deaths from coronavirus, raising its toll to 34.

DFAT's Smart Traveller website warns there are serious risks to travellers health and safety in Iran, including a heightened risk of sustained local transmission of the coronavirus, advising people to reconsider travel or leave when possible. A Melbourne University spokesman said it was in close contact with the Australian government and Dr Kylie Moore-Gilbert's family.

“We believe that the best chance of securing Kylie’s safe return is through diplomatic channels. This is a sensitive matter and the university will not be providing further comment.”

Hopefully the religion of peace helps liberate her.

And lord knows her immune wouldn't be strong in those conditions ...
