The World Boxing Council Joins the Global Call to Halt the Execution of Iranian Champion Mohammad Javad Vafaei Sani<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The World Boxing Council (WBC) today emphatically joins the international sporting community, including prominent Olympic athletes and medalists, in condemning the death sentence imposed on the Iranian boxing champion, Mohammad Javad Vafaei Sani.<\/p>\n

Following the letter signed by more than 20 Olympic medalists, including legends like Martina Navratilova and Sharron Davies, the WBC expresses its deep concern over the use of capital punishment in Iran against athletes who have spoken out.<\/p>\n

Mauricio Sulaim\u00e1n Sald\u00edvar, President of the WBC, stated: “Boxing is a discipline that inspires courage, respect, and the pursuit of self-improvement, not a reason for political punishment. The execution of a boxer, of a champion, for expressing his ideas is a direct attack on the fundamental values of sport and human dignity. From the WBC, we call on the Iranian authorities to reconsider and annul the death sentence against Mohammad Javad Vafaei Sani.”<\/p>\n
