Iranian Soccer Fan Tackled By Qatar World Cup Security Over Protest Slogan



An Iranian soccer fan was confronted by police while wearing a t-shirt that said “Women, Life, Freedom,” a slogan used by protesters in Iran. Security was increased at the stadium to prevent a flare up over the unrest that has gripped Iran since the death in custody of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.

  1. These people should take their politics to their own country

  2. Qatar Police = Gestapo 2.0

  3. Do it in your country rat! Not there

  4. He's wearing the dangerous
    Hamas and Al-Qaida shirts however are most welcome, they are homegrown Qatari.

    Thank you, come again!

  5. Lets see how tolerant the left is.
    Judging one by its skin color is racist, by the way.

  6. Taking money and give the venue to the WC!! Hatts off FiFa! Next WC is in North Korea!! And of course, there is no surprising when the free oil and gas wells given by Mullah to Qatar!! Shame on FiFa, shame on Qatar!!

  7. Good job keep these western ideas out of our land . our women are our dignity

  8. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

  9. We see what you did…God saw what you did.

  10. Teams of all Democratic Countries Should just pack and Leave. it's Obvious.

  11. They don't want women in their own country to get inspired by this movement

  12. Nice step by Qatar government

  13. I don’t support this protest Because I wish Iranians solve this problem without the American support. Iranian People think Americans going to invade Iran and destroy the regime and be like “okay here is your country and freedom you wanted no worries bye” but in reality what will happen to Iran is beyond sadness. Look At Iraqi Shia people who let Americans in , against the iraqi government look at them now! Iraq is destroyed and people now say Saddam was cruel but what American did to us is nothing compared to Saddam. American or the west don’t give a single fk about humanity if you are not part of them.

  14. Modern feminist be like – we want man to be an representation of unholy.

  15. People are really stupid why wast money and tickets just for a protest in another country it’s a wast of time

  16. That is a weak government to be so petty as to attack someone for a t-shirt. But these are men with no self control and no desire to have any but to control others instead. Very weak men.

  17. FIFA should be ashamed. The cup should NEVER be held in an Islamic country. ALL Of them oppress their people, behead you for blasphemy, murder gays on site, think women are only machines made to.produce male babies. Etc etc. A thousand years behind the rest of the planet. They weren't migrant workers.. it was 500 SLAVES that died building the Qatar stadium. And now the Iranian team will probably be killed when they get home.. They already told them they were going to torture their FAMILIES for protesting. It's a scourge of a culture. Letting any Islamic country host is like letting the nazis host. Agagin.. FIFA should be ashamed..

  18. It's time to join 2022 Iran. My heart goes out to the Iranian people..

  19. poor people around world dont have freedom speech as american do… WOMEN LIFE FREEDOM!

  20. 🇨🇵❤🇮🇷 (to my iranians people, died for freedom, peace and human rights)

  21. Qatar has the right to stop any foreign political issues. It’s just not their business and the west need to understand that. Anyway who brought dictatorship into Iran after the first free election when the communist party won ? Read about the cheapest coup in history done by USA, UK .

  22. This is a story? A fat man getting handled for, maybe he flashed himself who knows. Some strange news

  23. Qatar spent oil money, gave bribes to many, jailed many just to host worldcup and attract investors in Qattar but Qatar ended up giving the world many reasons for not even visiting let alone investing in Qatar

  24. We dont want americanazi and westernazi ideology in arab world, thats ideology never ever be welcome in arab land

  25. If you want to protest go to your country and protest these people are annoying forcing people to stand with them blocking roads that’s selfish hours ago pro Iranian and protesters fought in the streets because of them all the area was closed

  26. Watching this makes me feel homesick , i miss the Arab world so much .

  27. So iranian protests in another country about women in Iran. Why not do this in Iran. This is a football tournament not a political fan service.

  28. After this World Cup the Qataris should be given a get out of jail free card and should be allowed to go a break any law in any country after the disrespect the west have shown them. Basically going to someone’s country saying I don’t respect your laws and I will do what I want these are the same people who tell Muslims in the west if you want to practice Islam go to your own country 😂

  29. the real face of Islam

  30. Freaking terrorists

  31. Well come to Qatar Jail 🤣

  32. I don’t even consider Qatar 🇶🇦 a country FIFA has lost its touch what a shame

  33. Still amazes me how dumb people can be in this day and age, people here actually made their mind and decided this happened just because hes wearing that shirt with zero evidence and just the title… pretty sad but keep barking

  34. Women. Life. Freedom. ❤️🇮🇷❤️🇺🇸

  35. I love Qatar! That man is not Iranian we do not want him back throw him in jail

  36. qatar gonna pay for that.

  37. They were right,this WC is indeed memorable 🙂

  38. I can’t blame them for wanting to spread awareness outside of Iran. If you want something, you gotta work for it, shout for it, lunge for it, run for it, fight for it. And these people are doing just that for their country. What’s gonna change if they just stay in their own country to protest? Of course they need to make sure the international community is aware.

  39. i dont get it why iranian dont protest in america?

  40. FIFA is a disgrace for having this event in Qatar

  41. That was a worse idea going to another terrorist country for a World Cup … it’s like going to Iran …
    With the terrorist government

  42. God bless qatar and the IRI

  43. lol it backfired it got way more attention now

  44. Little rats working for the killers government of iran,you should all be very proud,showing your real faces to the whole world

  45. Its funny how American and Canadian news showing this stuff trying to act like they care @JustinTrudeau and Canadian government did the same and worse to Canadians protesters and what the Americans do they killed them so stop Canada is just likeIran @JustinTrudeau dictatorship if Canadian cops could get away they would’ve probably if not
    Killed maybe seriously hurt a lot people canada and America is just as bad

  46. Stop talking without knowing what's actually happing they didn't take him bc of the Slogan cuz there were many Iranian who are wearing slogans like this but some were literally fighting and of course the scrutiny need to do something
