The Regime Don’t Care About Who You Are

"You know, Martha, I was born in Iran, where girls and women have no rights. And by rights, I mean basic rights that every individual should have, like simply riding a bicycle, or going with motorcycle, or going even in a soccer stadium. You know how many times I got arrested… pic.twitter.com/4oVGD9P0wO

… because simply I was trying to go to the stadium?

And the famous stadium in Tehran, which calls Stadium Azadi, which means freedom stadium. And you can see everything over there, but not freedom, but freedom. So I mean, I can totally understand what those Iranian soccer players are going through, because I've been in their shoes.

You know, the regime, Iranian regime, put you in this situation. You have to say goodbye to everything that you have in Iran, or you have to get back in that hell, because you're gonna go, everything can happen for you if you go in Iran. You can face prison, you can face rape, you can face even execution.

We have an example, Naveed Afghari, wrestling champion, the regime hanged him. And I mean, we have right now a lot of athletes in prison. We have a lot of athletes got killed in the recent protest in Iran.

And the regime don't care about who you are. You are athlete, you are man, you are woman."
