An Iranian athlete’s hand signal on a crowded team bus on the Gold Coast has sparked a wave of international concern.
The athlete had been on a bus with the Iranian women’s soccer team, when a group of Australian protesters approached the vehicle on Sunday night.
Overnight, five members of the team have been granted humanitarian visas by the Australian Government.
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke says the same offer remains on the table for the rest of the squad.
The female athletes have been sending strong signals throughout their Women’s Asian Cup campaign, including their refusal to sing the Iranian national anthem last week before a match against South Korea.
At subsequent games against Australia and Philippines, the team appeared to sign the anthem as well as offer a salute.
But it was this particular hand gesture from a player on the bus that triggered worry for many Aussies, concerned about what the team would face upon returning home to an embattled Iran.
“There is a clear video of one of them doing the help sign. People’s life are in danger,’’ a female protester told news.com.au.
“The help sign is, I think, the most concerning,’’ another said.
