Bayern Munich supporters unfurled Friday evening against Leverkusen (4-0) two banners in support of the Iranian center forward of Bayer, Sardar Azmoun, who had published messages earlier this week in favor of the protest movement in Iran .
Shortly before Azmoun came into play, Munich supporters of the Südkurve unfurled two banners, one in Farsi repeating the demonstrators’ slogan “Life, Woman, Freedom! » and the other in English « Solidarity with the feminist revolution in Iran! “.
A vast protest movement sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, 22, three days after her arrest by the police, has entered its third week. The repression of this movement by the Iranian regime has already caused at least 83 deaths.
During the gathering of the Iranian selection last week, the players of “Team Melli” wore a black parka devoid of any crest. Tuesday in Germany, they hid their shirts at the time of the presentation of the teams before the friendly match against Senegal.
A true star of the team, qualified for the World Cup in Qatar, Azmoun posted a long message on Instagram on Wednesday, clearly supporting the protests in Iran and stressing that the death of Amini “has left a pain in the heart of the nation that history will never forget”.
