It has not been revealed what Kylie Moore-Gilbert has been charged with but she has been held for almost a year.
The couple were blogging their travels across 36 countries when they were arrested for allegedly flying a drone without a licence in an unrelated incident.The family of Dr Moore-Gilbert released a statement saying they were in"close contact" with the Australian government, adding:"We believe that the best chance of securing Kylie's safe return is through diplomatic channels.
The Australian government has said it is lobbying Tehran to ensure the wellbeing of the three detainees. Foreign minister Marise Payne said the cases were a"matter of deep concern" and insisted she had spoken about them a number of times to her Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif. She did not believe the arrests were politically motivated, despite reports the trio were being held as part of a plan to facilitate a prisoner swap with Australia.
