The Olympics aren't meant to be a place for political expression -- the International Olympic Committee (IOC) makes that abundantly clear. 。
However, as the events have progressed over the last week and a half, many people have managed to get their messages across.。
SEE ALSO:This springboard bellyflop is the real highlight of the Rio Olympics。At a volleyball match on Sunday, one damning slogan made it into the crowd. "Let Iranian women into the stadiums," Darya Safai's sign said, referencing the fact that women have mostly been banned from all-male sports events in the country since 1979's Islamic Revolution.。
Security teams attempted to remove her during the Egypt vs. Iran preliminary, but she refused to leave and spent the whole game holding up the sign, the BBC reports. She plans to be at every Iran match. 。

"It hurts to explain again and again that this peaceful action is not a political message, but a positive message of peace and human rights," Safai said.。

Temer has been in power in Brazil since the previous president, Dilma Rousseff, was stripped of her duties and subjected to an impeachment trial less that halfway through her elected mandate in May.。
Thanks for signing up!。
Rousseff was re-elected less than two years ago and enjoyed approval ratings of 80 percent before her triumph, but has since been mired in the ongoing trial, which she refers to as a "coup." 。

Some of the spectators were initially ejected but a judge has since ruled that peaceful political protests should be allowed. Their removal from the games was an infringement of their freedom of expression, Judge Joao Augusto Carneiro Araujo said.。
On Sunday, several protestors also broke through barriers to try and disrupt the women's marathon.。
