Cristiano Ronaldo could receive 99 lashes the next time he sets foot in Iran
The Portuguese Al-Nassr star has gotten into trouble with Iran for hugging artist Fatemeh Hamami.
In countries where human and women’s rights are conspicuous by their absence, grotesque and unpleasant situations often occur. This time one of those inexplicable things has happened to Cristiano Ronaldo, who would supposedly have been sentenced to receive 99 lashes the next time he sets foot on Iranian soil.
No one is free from the oppression and misogyny that reigns in the Asian country. This is what CR7 is verifying, according to local media such as ‘Rouydad24’ and ‘Sharq Emroz’. All for hugging the painter Fatemeh Hamami last September during the Portuguese’s visit with Al-Nassr to Tehran to face Persepolis for the Asian Champions League.
Cristiano’s team won the match 0-2, but what mattered most in Iran was his gesture to the artist, who suffers from 85% body paralysis, for giving her two of his paintings made with his feet.
The fact is that, in said territory, hugging a single woman is considered adultery and the offender is punished with whipping. The case to impose the sentence of 99 strokes on Ronaldo was promoted by the complaints of numerous Iranian lawyers.
Possible forgiveness
Apparently, there is a way for Cristiano to escape punishment. The Portuguese star could be forgiven if a judge does not consider the events so serious or if he makes a sincere show of his regret for what happened.
