Shakira comes out in defense of convicted soccer player and calls for solidarity

The soccer party is officially over and it will be another 4 years before we can see a celebration of this kind. It is known that the next World Cup will be held in North America, which includes the United States, Mexico and Canada.

After Argentina’s victory in a penalty shootout with France, all the attention has gone to Messi and his many pictures with the golden trophy, but now it was Shakira, ex-wife of soccer player Piqué, who took to Twitter to talk about a huge problem that no team has decided to intervene in.

Iran, a country known for its conservative traditions, a 26-year-old soccer player named Amir Nasr Azadani joined a protest for women’s rights in his nation.

That act is considered illegal in Iran, as it would be a form of “Revealing against the country or a governor”. For this reason, the player was sentenced to death.

The Colombian singer Shakira did not agree with the great injustice and took to her Twitter to express what many of us felt at the time. Demand solidarity and justice for the player

Today at the final of the World Cup, I only hope the players on the field and the whole world remembers that there’s a man and fellow footballer called Amir Nasr, on death row, only for speaking in favor of Women’s rights

There is still no conclusion to this story of injustice but we hope that it will soon be resolved in a peaceful way.
