The world union of professional footballers FIFPRO said it was \u201cshocked and sickened\u201d by the risk of Iranian footballer Amir Nasr-Azadani being sentenced to death in connection with protests which have shaken the country for three months.<\/p>\n

Nasr-Azadani was arrested<\/a> in the city of Isfahan two days after allegedly taking part in an \u201carmed riot\u201d in which three security agents were killed on September 16, Isfahan\u2019s judiciary chief Abdullah Jafari said, quoted Sunday by Iran\u2019s ISNA news agency.<\/p>\n

Jafari said the 26-year-old had been accused of \u201crebellion, membership in illegal gangs, collusion to undermine security and therefore assisting in moharabeh\u201d \u2014 or \u201cemnity against God\u201d \u2014 a capital crime in the Islamic republic.<\/p>\n

\u201cFIFPRO is shocked and sickened by reports that professional footballer Amir Nasr-Azadani faces execution in Iran after campaigning for women\u2019s rights and basic freedom in his country,\u201d the union wrote on its Twitter page late Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe stand in solidarity with Amir and call for the immediate removal of his punishment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The alarm comes after a global outcry following the execution by Iran in the past days of two young men arrested over the protests.<\/p>\n

Nasr-Azadani, who played at Under-16 level for the national team, began his football career with Tehran team Rah-Ahan, with whom he played for the first time in Iran\u2019s top flight league.<\/p>\n

The defender briefly played for Tractor SC under former Wales coach John Toshack and is currently at FC Iranjavan Bushehr.<\/p>\n

Former Iranian international star Ali Karimi, a strong supporter of the protests, backed the footballer in a tweet, saying \u201cDo not execute Amir\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Iranian national team took part in the World Cup in Qatar and staged their own protest by refusing to sing the national anthem in their opening match against England.<\/p>\n

However, they rolled back to sing the anthem for subsequent matches against Wales and the USA.<\/p>\n

Iran is facing protests sparked by the September 16 death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurd who died after she was arrested by morality police for allegedly violating the Islamic republic\u2019s strict dress code for women.<\/p>\n

According to Amnesty International, 11 people have been confirmed to have been sentenced to death over the protests and at least another nine, including Nasr-Azadani, risk being sentenced to death.<\/p>\n

Iran calls the protests \u201criots\u201d and says they have been encouraged by its foreign foes.<\/p>\n

Prominent former international star Voria Ghafouri was arrested in Iran last month after he backed the protests and condemned the crackdown but was later released on bail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
