An organization constructed to fight for the rights of Iranian people is demanding FIFA lift its ban on pre-revolutionary Iranian imagery from this year’s World Cup — and it’s threatening legal action if the soccer giant balks. The Institute for Voices of Liberty, a non-profit that describes itself as a group “dedicated to reflecting the aspirations of the Iranian people,” said in a statement on its Instagram page last week that it’s “sent a Demand to Retract and Cease Enforcement letter to FIFA” asking for the “immediate removal of any rule, policy, or restriction that bans the peaceful display of the Lion & Sun flag at World Cup events hosted on American soil. ” Fans hold up an old Iranian flag prior to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Group B match between IR Iran and USA at Al Thumama Stadium on November 29, 2022 in Doha, Qatar.
