An Iranian soccer player will be hanged as a punishment of protesting against the death of Mahsa Amini.
Amir Nasr-Azadani, 26, was arrested in November in connection to the murders of a police colonel and two volunteer militia members, according to Iran Wire.
Nasr-Azadani has also been accused of “waging war against God.”
Amini died suddenly in mid-September while in custody after being arrested for allegedly improperly wearing a hijab. Witnesses have said Amini was beaten by Guidance Patrol, but the Iranian government has said she suffered a heart attack.
The International Federation of Professional Footballers (FIFPRO) said they were “shocked and sickened” by the punishment.
“FIFPRO is shocked and sickened by reports that professional footballer Amir Nasr-Azadani faces execution in Iran after campaigning for women’s rights and basic freedom in his country,” the union tweeted on Monday.
Nasr-Azadani will be the 28th person sentenced to death amid the protests — Iran conducted its first execution in relation to the protests on Thursday. Three of those 28 individuals are children.

Very confusing article. Makes no sense.
I remember when Iran wasn’t run by dickheads.
Three of those 28 individuals are children.
This government should be destroyed....
> I remember when Iran wasn’t run by dickheads. <
The two greatest enemies of radical Islam in the region were the Shah of Iran and Saddam Hussein.
Carter did the radicals a favor by getting rid of the Shah.
Bush II did the radicals a favor by getting rid of Saddam.
So speaking of d!ckheads, add Carter and Bush II to the list.
We need to exchange Brittney Griner with Iran.
The Iranian people need to call Antifa to see how it’s done.
Meanwhile, crickets from the White House. No one can tell me Obama isn’t running things.
Well-deserved.
There was a protest. The soccer player took part in it. It seems a police officer and militia member were killed during this protest, and the soccer player was locked up for his part in the deaths. So he may not be killed simply for taking part in a protest, which the headline states. The government is saying he had a hand in killing the cop. Today’s media is dishonest even when they don’t need to be.
Well, it DOES claim he’s actually being executed for murder.
So headline and activist statement that he’s simply being executed for protesting about a woman may be disingenuous.
Your post needed repeating. You are 100% correct.
“An Iranian soccer player will be hanged as a punishment of protesting against the death of Mahsa Amini.
Amir Nasr-Azadani, 26, was arrested in November in connection to the murders of a police colonel and two volunteer militia members, according to Iran Wire. “
So is he being hanged for protesting, or for murder?
And if you dont like it, we will kill you too.
Libya has been in a civil war since we bombed them.
