How We Stopped Islamic Regime Officials and Their Anti-American Delegation from Entering the U.S.
In a stark display of hypocrisy, Alireza Dabir, head of the Islamic Regime’s Wrestling Federation and a U.S. green card holder, urged Iranians to “put Death to America in action” during a domestic television interview.
This call to action came just before his scheduled trip to the United States for a purportedly “friendly” wrestling match.
We translated and exposed his video, launched a campaign to block regime loyalists from entering the U.S., and identified members of the Revolutionary Guard traveling with the team.
Sardar Pashaei is a Kurdish activist, former world wrestling champion, and a relentless advocate for justice. At just five years old, he experienced oppression firsthand, visiting his imprisoned father every Thursday.
Banned from competing internationally due to his political family background, he eventually fled Iran and became a U.S. citizen. He has dedicated his time and voice to supporting the Woman, Life, Freedom movement, working with U.S. Congress, the European Parliament, and international organizations to raise awareness about the Iranian people’s struggle.
His activism has come at a personal cost—his younger brother and sister have both been arrested and tortured in Iran. Today, he leads Justice & Freedom for Iran, bringing together survivors, activists, and athletes to work toward a democratic and secular Iran.
