Should the participating countries within the United Nations begin offering political asylum to Iranian citizens?




Despite the extensive campaigning by Dana White & The UFC, as well as President Trump, and much of the Combat Sports world...Olympic Calibur Iranian Wrestler Navid Afkari was publicly executed this morning.

His crime was peacefully protesting against government oppression.

The Iranian people are amongst some of the most persecuted populations on this earth.

They get suppressed, tortured and killed by their own government on one hand. On the other hand they suffer from poverty, lack of medicine, and inability to interact with the rest of the world as a result of severe sanctions by the West (I.e. USA).

To top it off, they get harassed at western borders and get called terrorists just on the basis of their nationality. Yet despite all of this, they always have and continue to contribute to world science, culture, arts, and sports.

All members of the United Nations, including the United States, should immediately begin offering political asylum to all Iranian citizens!

For those of you unfamiliar w/ the story:
Here is CNN's report what happened to Iranian champion wrestler Navid Afkari: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/12/sport/iran-wrestler-navid-afkari-executed-intl

Dana White had previously asked Trump to work w/ the Iranian Government to save the kids life:

Donald Trump actually made a tweet about it and tagged Dana White:

(not sure if he actually did anymore than that though)

UFC's paid tribute tonight, as they dedicated their event to Navid. One of the fighters, Bobby Green, following his victory broke down and had to cut his post fight interview short:

God damn it. This guy was 27, had his whole life ahead of him. The fact that Dana White knew his name said he had a potential future in the UFC. They pin some bullshit on him and kill him before people can intervene. Why the fuck are nations permitted to function like this? It's legitimately heartbreaking.

I like how all these Republicans are shaming the Iran government but once the citizens start advocating for American asylum they turn very quiet. It's so odd how their so fake with their projected values.
