A videogame from Iranian software developers, which makes players try to save George Floyd from being murdered is drawing controversy online, The Sun reported.  

Created by Iran’s Basij paramilitary force, which is part of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Save the Freedom lets players navigate 30 levels while facing obstacles such as “enemy waves and weather conditions” to save Floyd’s life, journalist Séamus Malekafzali tweeted last week.  

A commander for the IRGC, Mohammad Reza Naghdi, took credit for the game, according to Complex.  

He reportedly told The Sun, “The first challenge for this competition is to design a game for mobile phones and computers titled ‘Rescuing George Floyd.’” 

Naghdi added, “Rescuing this Black citizen from American police should be the aim of this computer game. Nowadays, the only place left for America to turn its defeats into victories is the internet. People inside the U.S. shout ‘death to America’ and burn the American flag. The U.S. domestic and foreign policies have failed. The public is increasingly becoming polarized in that country.” 

People took to Twitter to express their disappointment.  

George Floyd was murdered by former Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin in May 2020. His death prompted global protests against police brutality against Black people in the U.S.
