Iran’s only female Olympic medalist has reportedly defected, posting a goodbye letter to Iran on Saturday, calling out the government’s “hypocrisy” as she announced she had permanently left the country.
“Should I start with hello, goodbye, or condolences?” Taekwondo athlete, Kimia Alizadeh, 21, posted on her Instagram in Farsi, Agence France-Presse reported.
Alizadeh did not disclose where she was going, but Iran’s ISNA news agency reported she had gone to the Netherlands, according to AFP. The Iranian report quoted Alizadeh’s coach as saying the athlete was injured and did not show up for trials ahead of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
The Olympian’s announcement came just a day after Iranian officials admitted to downing a Ukrainian passenger plane, killing 176 people minutes after takeoff from Tehran’s international airport early Wednesday due to “human error,” thinking it was a military aircraft.
It looks like Trump is right again.
Iranians have a deep desire to be free of their FUNDAMENTALIST CAPTORS.
Good luck to her.
What now, you Democrat terrorist sympathizing bitches?
They’ll go after Her…I guess at least in the Netherlands She can
blend in…
If she takes that pelosi-towel off her head, she can make a fortune in MMA.
“You don’t have to go home. But you can’t. stay. here.”
She probably rates at least as much attention as we should pay to our Hollywood celebrities that give us our political outlook, yes?
6’1″!!!!!! Good grief! Just a little bit of a thing with a lazy eye. I wish here a happy and safe life.

Good bye hypocrites, I’m going to a “racist” white country.
