Kimia Alizadeh, the sole woman to ever have won a medal at the Olympics for the country of Iran, has defected from the country and moved to Europe, she announced on social media.

The 21-year-old, who won bronze at the 2016 summer Olympics in Rio in the women's Taekwondo 57-kg competition, wrote on Instagram Saturday that she is "one of the millions of oppressed woman in Iran."

"They took me wherever they wanted. Whatever they said I wore. Every sentence they ordered I repeated," Alizadeh said. "Whenever they saw fit, they confiscated me. They put my medals on the obligatory veil and attributed it to their management and tact."

It's good that she got the heck outta there. However, given what's happening in Europe right now, and that the article says she moved there, it may not have been a smart move on her part.

It's entirely possible that some unhinged nutbag Muslim (but I repeat myself) might take it upon himself to 'punish' the young woman for her 'transgression'.

Hey women voters, hear her words

This is the regime that the Democrats support in all respects including billions of your tax dollars. Is this really what you want?

He better do so with a stand off weapon. Otherwise as a Tae Kwondo expert she’d kick his ass.

Probably not a good idea to defect to Europe since the Muslims will soon declare Sharia law there too.

She knew the gamble when she defectd. There’s a lot of derranged nutcases in Europe who would go after her for a price.

Here in the U.S. we hear nothing from feminists when it comes to Muslims’ treatment of women.

As long as she renounces Islam, I have no problems with her moving to America.

Sounds like it’s from the Democrat’s Rule Book. You’re too stupid to know what’s good for you, or how to live your own life, so we have to do it for you.
