Description
Refugee goalkeeper Pyae Lyan Aung fears for his safety if he returns home to Myanmar but he says he has no regrets about raising an anti-junta salute before a game two years ago. The former Myanmar international flashed the three-fingered gesture, a popular symbol of protest against the country's 2021 military coup, as his team lined up to face Japan in a World Cup qualifier in Chiba, near Tokyo. Worried about what would happen if he returned to Myanmar, he refused to board the flight home and was eventually granted refugee status in Japan. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
