Hi, dear. Your website wake us up to the importance of Wrestling for women and others, but unfortunately in Iran the government don’t let girls and women take part in this kind of sport and everybody that want to protest against Iranian legislation must be killed by the Iranian government or Iranian government put girls and women and boys in dangerous prisons for a long time and torture girls and boys and women and men that want freedom. And the government say, “taking part in this sport causes that women and girls go to hell. We hope that the UN asks Iranian government and make it let women and girls take part in this kind of sport and compete with boys and men.”
thanks a lot for your good website.
Hope you be successful.
