RFL/RE – Former Iranian soccer player Ali Daei, who has backed protests following Mahsa Amini’s death, said on December 26 that an airplane from Tehran to Dubai had been rerouted and his family ordered off. Protests have gripped Iran since the September 16 death of Iranian-Kurdish Amini, 22, after her arrest in Tehran for an alleged breach of the country’s strict dress code for women. Tehran generally calls the protests “riots.” Daei, 53, a former German Bundesliga striker whose 109 goals at international level were long unsurpassed until Cristiano Ronaldo overtook him, is one of Iran’s most famous soccer players.
