The Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, player of Al-Nassr of Saudi Arabia, was sentenced by the Iranian justice system to receive 99 lashes for having hugged, in an expression of affection and gratitude, the painter Fatemeh Hamami last September. According to the Iranian media 'Rouydad24' and 'Sharq Emroz', the Iranian justice imposed that sentence on the Portuguese star after he traveled to Tehran with his team, in September, to play for Persepolis in the Asian Champions League, a match that CR7's team won 2-0. During that visit, the footballer gave a signed shirt, hugged and kissed Fatemeh Hamami - an artist with 85% body paralysis - as a sign of gratitude for giving him two of her works made with her feet. The Iranian press claims that numerous Iranian lawyers have filed complaints against Cristiano Ronaldo for this action, because according to Iranian law touching a single woman is equivalent to adultery. Iran could forgive Cristiano Ronaldo if he shows repentance, the Iranian press indicated this Friday. If you do not do so, the penalty imposed is 99 lashes the next time you set foot on the soil of that country.
