A burst of images of Henderson playing for Liverpool feature on a video from Al-Ettifaq FC to announce his signing. One features Henderson when - as part of the Premier League's LGBTQ solidarity weekend - he wore a rainbow-coloured captain's armband
While most of the photo remains in full colour, the small section featuring the armband has been turned black and white by Al-Ettifaq.
Text placed over the video reads:"Captain who sets an example in every training session and every match."The obscuring of the armband's LGBTQ messaging highlights how such rainbow armbands would be frowned on in Saudi Arabia, where same-sex relations are illegal. The anti-LGBTQ laws in the kingdom are one reason why Henderson's transfer has drawn criticism from Liverpool fans.Rights activists denounce Saudi Arabia as a repressive regime where freedoms are supressed and full equality is far from being guaranteed for women., which may be using cookies and other technologies.
