Five players from Iran's women's football team have been granted asylum after they escaped their handlers at a Gold Coast hotel with assistance from the Australian Federal Police.
The women, who are now under police protection, fear persecution if they return home after being labelled traitors for not singing the national anthem at the Asian Cup in Queensland.
This morning, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said he met the women and had approved their application for humanitarian visas overnight.
