Performer explains why he raised Palestine and Sudan flag

Описание: “I wanted to show solidarity to those afflicted by this and their families and loved ones that they’re being remembered here in America.”

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Zul Qarnain Nantambu, the performer who raised a Palestinian and Sudanese flag during US rapper Kendrick Lamar’s half-time performance at the Super Bowl on Sunday, said he could not pass up the opportunity to speak out against injustices against Muslims around the world.

According to the NFL, Nantambu will be banned from all NFL stadiums and events for life, to which he responded by saying: “The risk of a ban? I was afraid I was going to get sniped by a secret service’s bullet. I can watch the football programme on the television if I choose to.”
