'Save Our Girls': Five Iranian Female Soccer Players Reportedly Seek Asylum In Australia

After the Iranian women's soccer team declined to sing along with their country's national anthem at an AFC Asian Cup game, an Iranian state TV presenter denounced them as "wartime traitors." Fearing for their safety if they returned to Iran, five of the players reportedly left their training camp in Australia on March 9 to seek asylum there, while their teammates are also still in Australia.
