A report by 60 Minutes, Australia:
During the Asian Cup in Australia, the Iranian women’s soccer team staged a silent protest against the Islamic regime by refusing to sing their national anthem. Branded as traitors and facing severe punishment back home, the athletes embarked on a dramatic escape with the help of the Australian government, successfully seeking asylum and forging a new life of freedom.
