The city of Monastir welcomed the World Championship in Kyskyshin Karate from November 2 to 5. During the presentation of medals, controversy broke out when an athlete tried to hoist the Palestinian flag.
In the video, we see the president of the Tunisian Federation of Kyokushinkai Karate, Taha Bagga, summarize the young man not to brandish the flag on the podium. A behavior that has not gone unnoticed causing the indignation of Internet users.
Despite his “efforts to apply the rules”, Taha Bagga seems to have failed to satisfy the international organization Kyokushin World Union.
The day after the event, the KWU published a statement declaring that due to the incapacity of the organizers to comply with the championship to KWU standards and rules, the KWU status of the event was revoked.
The press release also requires that the championship will not be associated with the KWU association on social networks and other platforms.
