The Iranian government’s omnidirectional oppression of Ali Karimi, who was a leading Iranian football star in the 2000s, was released as a document, and it is expected to have a ripple effect.
크크크벳 The BBC’s Farsi edition reported that the Iranian government had imposed a travel ban on Ali Karimi and his family. The BBC even released a document related to this. Karimi was a figure who criticized the government in solidarity with protests across the country following the death of Mahasa Amini, a Kurdish Iranian woman, who was tortured and repressed by Iranian police in September last year. According to documents from the intelligence department of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, it was documented that Karimi suffered severe human rights violations in this regard.
According to the document, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard reportedly sent nine serious warning messages to Karimi. It also appears that Karimi’s wife was particularly targeted. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard stressed that Karimi’s wife, Sahar Davari, and her family instigated Karimi, and that the Davari family had a history of banned communist activities in Iran. In fact, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard had a record of executing Sahar Davari’s father, Gholamali Davari, for being a Communist.
In addition, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard attempted to forcibly sell the mansion owned by Karimi in order to permanently relocate the Karimi family and her in-laws, and put Karimi and his wife as well as their in-laws under a travel ban.
The document was allegedly leaked and passed on to the BBC by a group of hackers named Edalat Yi Ali. Karimi, who was the ace of the Iranian national football team during his active career and had a successful career with German clubs such as Bayern Munich, said in an interview with the BBC that the situation he was facing was very serious. “My friend was tortured three or four times in the notorious Evin Prison,” said Karimi.
Karimi, who is now known to have fled the UAE and lives in an unknown place, said: “The Revolutionary Guards raided my mansion and brutally beat the caretaker. The lights were on in my neighbor’s house all night, and plainclothes agents came and went in and out of my house every day.” They told me that all vehicles passing nearby had to stop for five minutes, and the Revolutionary Guards surrounded my house.”
Meanwhile, Karimi claimed that the Iranian government was repressing him with a tyrannical stance, such as releasing CCTV images showing Iranian Revolutionary Guards staying near his home.
