OPINION: As protests increase, Iran may soon confront the power of sports
Fox News' Greg Palkot on reports that professional soccer player Amir Nasr-Azadani is facing execution charges after protesting against human rights violations in IranIran had better watch out. Fears of a death sentence for pro soccer player Amir Nasr-Azadani have shocked the world. The fact is, soccer fans and stars in Iran have been keeping the protests against the regime alive over the past few months, andProtests began at Mahsa Amini’s funeral on Sept. 17.
Even the U.S. Soccer Federation took action, wiping Iran’s revolutionary emblem from the Iranian flag graphic ahead of the Iran-USA match."We wanted to show our support for the women in Iran with our graphic for 24 hours," the USSF stated. A protester shows a portrait of Mahsa Amini during a demonstration in Paris on Oct. 2, 2022, to support Iranian protesters standing up to their leadership over the death of a young woman in police custody.
Let that sink in. Earlier this week, Iran executed protester Majidreza Rahnavard by hanging him at dawn from a construction crane.
