نامه ی تعدادی از دانشگاهیان و فعالین حقوق بشر به فیفا پس از مرگ سحر خدایاری

تعدادی از دانشگاهیان و فعالین حقوق بشر ایرانی با نوشتن نامه ای به رئیس فیفا از وی خواسته اند جمهوری اسلامی را تحت فشار قرار داده تا از این طریق به تبعیض خود در عرصه ی ورزش پایان داده و به زنان اجازه ورود به استادیوم های ورزشی را بدهد. ….

پرزیدنت اینفانتینو عزیز،
ما امضاء کنندگان زیر، استادان دانشگاه، روزنامه نگاران، نویسندگان، شعرا، پزشکان، حقوق دانان، هنرمندان، و فعالین حقوق بشرِ ایرانیِ مقیم خارج از ایران، مایلیم توجه شما را به وضعیت تاسف انگیزِ زنانِ علاقمند به فوتبال در ایران جلب کنیم. همانطور که قطعا مطلع هستید، جمهوری اسلامی ایران تنها کشوری در جهان، و تنها عضوِ فیفا است که بر اساس سیاست های واپس گرای خود،  زنان را از شرکت در مسابقات ورزشی مردان محروم می سازد. زنان علاقمند به فوتبال که قصد حضور در استادیوم ها را داشته باشند، تحقیر می شوند، کتک می خورند، و زندانی می شوند. همین هفته در یک مورد بسیار تراژیک، سحر خدایاری معروف به دختر آبی – اشاره به رنگ باشگاه فوتبال مورد علاقه اش – خود را آتش زد و بر اثر شدت جراحات درگذشت. به او گفته شده بود که بخاطر آنکه قبلا با لباس مردانه قصد ورود به استادیوم را داشته، به شش ماه زندان محکوم خواهد شد.

به اعتقاد ما این مسئولیت فیفا است که قاطعانه از جمهوری اسلامی بخواهد تا این سیاست آشکارا تبعیض آمیز بر علیه زنان را کنار گذارد. بند چهارم اساسنامه فدراسیون جهانی فوتبال به صراحت می گوید: «تبعیض قائل شدن به هرشکلی علیه کشوری،  فردی حقیقی یا گروهی از افراد با در نظر گرفتن اصلیت نژادی، جنسی، معلولیتی، گویشی، مذهبی، سیاسی یا دلایل دیگر به‌شدت ممنوع می‌باشد و از طریق اخراج یا تعلیق قابل مجازات است.»

مشروط‌ ساختنِ شرکت ایران در مسابقات جهانی فوتبال به برطرف کردنِ موانع ورودِ زنان به استادیوم ها، تنها راهی است که جمهوری اسلامی را وادار کند که این سیاست ارتجاعی را بدور اندازد. به باور ما فیفا در موقعیتی قرار دارد که با تنها زبانی که جمهوری اسلامی می فهمد، مقامات مسئول را ناچار سازد که حق ابتدائی زنان برای تماشای مسابقاتِ مورد علاقه شان را محترم شمارد.

با احترام

متن انگلیسی

President Gianni Vicenzo Infantino,

Federation Internationale de Football Association,

FIFA-Strasse ۲۰,

P.O. Box ۸۰۴۴, Zurich, Switzerland.

Dear President Infantino,

We the undersigned, Iranian academics, journalists, writers, poets, lawyers, physicians, artists, and human rights activists living outside Iran would like to draw your attention to the atrocious situation of female football fans in Iran. As you are surely aware, the Islamic Republic of Iran is the only country in the world, and the only FIFA member that based on its obscurantist policies does not allow women in the male-sporting events. Female football fans are humiliated, beaten, and jailed for wanting to watch soccer games. Just this week, in a most tragic case, a young female football fan, Sahar Khodayari, dubbed Blue Girl — a reference to her favourite football team — self-immolated and died as a result of her severe injuries. She had been told that she would be sentenced to six months in prison for disguising as a man to enter the football stadium.

We believe that it is FIFA’s responsibility to seriously demand that the Islamic Republic stop this blatant  discriminatory policy against women. Article 4 of the FIFA Statutes clearly states that “Discrimination of any kind against a country, private person or group of people on account of race, skin colour, ethnic, national or social origin, gender, disability, language, religion, political opinion or any other opinion, wealth, birth or any other status, sexual orientation or any other reason is strictly prohibited and punishable by suspension or expulsion.”

Conditioning Iran’s participation in international football tournaments, on its lifting of the ban on women’s entry into football stadiums, would be the sure way to force the Islamic government to end this reactionary policy. We strongly believe that FIFA is in a position to use the only language that the Islamic government understand and force the authorities to respect the basic rights of women to watch their favourite games where men do.

Sincerely,
