The bittersweet commitment by the wife of JULIAN ASSANGE this week on 60 MINUTES – TV Blackbox

JUST MARRIED

London in spring is a perfect place and time to get married. And so it was for Stella Moris on Wednesday. Like all brides, her wedding was unforgettable, but it was also a ceremony unlike any other. Her husband is Australian Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, which meant the happy couple swapped vows in Englands toughest maximum-security jail, Belmarsh Prison. As their infant sons Gabriel and Max watched on, Stella and Julian promised to try to lead as normal a life as possible.But as Tara Brown reports, thats a bittersweet commitment, with the groom facing extradition to the United States and the prospect of 175 more years in jail if convicted of espionage.

INESCAPABLE

Accused and then dubiously convicted of spying, what Australian academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert endured, locked up in brutal Iranian prisons for more than two years, would have broken most people. It wasnt just the torment of being in solitary confinement for most of that time, she also withstood relentless interrogations as well as other extreme psychological torture. But worst of all, the probable reason she remained imprisoned for so long is just bizarre. For the first time, she explains how one of her captors, a sleazy prison boss, fell for her. As Kylie tells Sarah Abo, it was a frightening attraction that plunged her into an inescapably dangerous love triangle.
