Kimia Alysadeh, the only Olympic medalist for women in Iran, says she has left the country forever, publicly denouncing what she calls “injustice” and “hipocrycryrizi of an Iranian political system that uses and humiliates athletes for political purposes.
21-year-old Alysideh, who won a bronze medal at taekwondo at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, did not say from where she was writing, but in the past she said she wanted to settle in the Netherlands.
In her statement, she said she wanted nothing more than “port, security and a happy, healthy life”.
But she said she didn't want to go to the table of hypocrisy, lies, injustices and flattery”.
Alysadeha did not disclose her plans for the future in the statement, but told the beloved Iranian <x0 population” that it would remain the “an Iranian wherever it lived”.
In October, Alysadeh entered the list of 100 people more “inspirational and more influential in the world” from the BBC for 2019 based on this year's theme for “women's future”.
News of its disappearance on January 9th raised concerns in the country, with the semi-official news agency I The SNA, which wrote: “Trond for Iran's taekwondo. Kimia Alizdeh has emigrated to Holland”
The ISNA wrote that it was thought that Alysadeh was seeking to compete at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, but not as a member of the Iranian team. VOA
