A fan on foot goes missing in Iran! Iran's feminist issue is on fire again
Spanish football fan Sanchez has attracted attention from various countries before. He was originally expected to arrive at the Qatar World Cup in a month. Unexpectedly, this week, foreign media reported that he disappeared the day after arriving in Iran, and his family He also said that he had not received any news from Sanchez since October 2. Although the Spanish ambassador has been involved in the investigation, he could not help but worry about the outside world.
The main reason is that at this stage, Iran has already fallen into chaos, and there have been many protests. The local government has shifted the responsibility to Western countries and began to arrest foreigners. The overall situation has become tenser.
Iran may be kicked out of World Cup for ignoring FIFA rules.
It will lead to the above incident when a woman in Iran did not wear a hijab, was imprisoned by the police to death, and began to burn, which made the local struggle against human rights and sexual equality again.
However, Iran is quite unfriendly to women, and even the World Football Championships are no exception. In the past, it has repeatedly refused to allow female fans to watch the game and shut out local women on the grounds of protecting women from boys. It was not until the Blue Girls incident in 2019, which directly attracted global attention, and under pressure from FIFA, Iran did not let go, but the official said that they had to sit separately from the men, which made female fans dissatisfied and said: "I hope to watch the game next time. We can sit with Dad and the family instead of ourselves.”

This directly threatens the safety of Iranian female fans, as well as our country. Teams play anywhere in the world. Football should be a safe space for all of us.” Demanded that FIFA ban Iran from participating in the World Cup; in fact, many national team players wanted to speak about this before, but were blocked by the Iranian government and threats, one of the players who had been in Europe for a long time couldn't stand it and called on everyone to safeguard women's rights. He said that even if he was kicked out of the national team and missed the World Cup because of this, he would not hesitate.
Previously, although FIFA stated that it would ban Iran from participating in international games if it violated the prohibition of female fans from entering the stadium, it has not responded to this issue at present; as for the question raised by Ukraine, if Iran is involved in the attack on Ukraine, it will be true. face EU sanctions.
