“⚡️ BREAKING: #Iran football team captain defies regime, backs protests: “We have to accept that conditions in our country are not right & our people are not happy. They should know that we are with them. And we support them. And we sympathize with them regarding the conditions.””

@anneapplebaum some people are locked out of the bird app and can't see what you are posting.
@mfreeman @anneapplebaum it's a video of the Iranian football team captain saying he supports the protesters, not the regime. He's probably taking a big risk in saying these things.
@Pyplate @anneapplebaum thank you for explaining and if you need to delete i understand
@mfreeman @anneapplebaum I'm a British citizen, so I don't need to delete it. I'm lucky I can speak freely without the risks that Iranians are facing.
