Iranian soccer players forced back to Iran amid regime intimidation and death penalty fears
Fox News' Bryan Llenas reports on Iranian women's soccer players withdrawing asylum bids in Australia under intense pressure from Iran's regime.
Five Iranian women's soccer players are reportedly forced to return to Iran from Australia after withdrawing their asylum bids. Australian councilor Tina Kordrostami states the Iranian regime heavily intimidated players, sending distressing family videos and making threats that include the death penalty for breaking contracts. Despite these severe risks, two players, Fatemeh and Atefeh, bravely remain in Australia, training with Brisbane Roar following their protest at the AFC Asian Cup.
