Brutal and regular torture of Dr. Abu Safiya is horrible

Detained for 18 months without charge, the pediatrician who treated Gaza's wounded now fears for his life. His lawyer reports severe injuries, daily beatings, and solitary confinement—stating he is "almost unrecognizable" and in "tangible danger."

Transferred to Israel's notorious underground Rakefet prison, Abu Safiya told his lawyer: "They brought me here to kill me."

Amnesty International and UN experts condemn this as part of a systematic pattern of arbitrary detention. A physician's only crime was saving lives. History will not forgive this.

Some teams win trophies. Others win respect 🏆

For me, the true winners of this World Cup were Team Melli. Not because they played the most beautiful football or outclassed every opponent, but because they stood their ground when everything seemed to be against them.

Humiliation, isolation, endless travel, physical exhaustion and relentless pressure would have broken many. Instead, they carried themselves with quiet dignity. 💪

While others tried to turn football into a political battleground, they let their character do the talking. No grand gestures. No theatrics. Just resilience, humility and an unwavering commitment to the shirt they wore. 🇮🇷

In a tournament where the spirit of the game often felt overshadowed, Team Melli reminded us what sport can still represent. ⚽️
