@cbsnews: Protesters tried to prevent a bus carrying members of the Iranian women's soccer team from leaving the hotel where players were staying in Australia on Tuesday, fearing they would face punishment upon returning to Iran. The team was in Australia for the Asia Cup, where they declined to salute or sing their country's national anthem during the first game against South Korea, prompting calls for harsh punishment from conservatives from within Iran. The Islamic Republic's state television network branded them "traitors" and accused them of "the pinnacle of dishonor." Earlier on Tuesday, humanitarian visas were granted to five Iranian women's soccer team players after they sought asylum. #iran #australia

The fact so many strangers came together to try to protect them. This shows how caring people truly can be. May these girls be safe

Yaya :

I wish the girls are safe 🙏

Michelle :

why what happened

Shay :

I would laugh if the ladies were granted asylum in Australia, joined the Australian women’s soccer team, and won gold for Australia lol. That would be the ultimate FU to the critics in Iran.

What :

Bless these protectors, back in Iran, they are either oppressed by the government or abused by US military, it’s already a hell place

ImKafka :

are some of these people here in this comment section unaware, or living under a rock or they're "unaware/ignorant" on purpose its the same people who advocate for women's rights and are against "tyranny/dictatorship" yet y'all are tone deaf ON PURPOSE. Just because you're politicial beliefs don't align with someone or you don't like those certain politicians doesn't mean you can just tone deaf or ignorant to what the Iranian regime truly are and what they did to thousands of people and WOMEN all because they wanted their rights. honestly for stuff like protesters stopping vehicles seems sus but this time all because they care about the Iranian Women's soccer team and their lives, I don't mind.
