Five Rings To Rule Them All, Episode 42 - Richard Grenell on banning Iran from the Olympics

Navid Afkari was murdered by Iran's government on Sept. 12 because he dared say a negative word about the Iranian regime. He had also been accused of killing someone during a protest, but his admission to the crime, as well as the accounts of alleged eye witnesses, were clearly coerced. Former Ambassador to Germany and Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell was among a chorus of people, including the International Olympic Committee, who called for Iran to spare Afkari's life. Afkari was a national champion wrestler. Grenell joins us this week to talk about his support for an Olympic ban for Iran, based on Afkari's murder and a long history of human rights abuses. Grenell has been a champion of LGBTQ rights internationally and is an advisor to the RNC."
