Australia has agreed to provide visas to five visiting members of Iran’s women’s football team who potentially faced punishment upon their return home for not singing their national anthem.
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke told a news conference on Monday that he had told the five members “that they are welcome to stay in Australia, that they are safe here, and they should feel at home here”.
