An individual who has committed human rights abuses will be unable to be an owner or director of a Premier League football club under new rules approved on Thursday.
The new rules, approved by clubs, also mean a person or company subject to British government sanctions would be disqualified. The Premier League also has the power to bar people from becoming directors where they are under investigation for conduct that would result in a"disqualifying event" if proven.
Peter Frankental, Amnesty International UK's economic affairs director, responded to Thursday's announcement by saying:"It's a step in the right direction that human rights and hate crimes are now being considered.
