Elnaz Rekabi was without a hijab when she entered the final Asian climbing competition in the South Korean capital Seoul on Sunday. Reza Zarei, the head of Iran's Climbing Federation, tricked her into the Iranian embassy building in Seoul after he received orders from Mohammad Khosravivafa, Iran's Olympic Committee chairman, a source told IranWire. https://iranwire.com/en/politics/108685-iranwire-exclusive-iranian-athlete-who-competed-without-hijab-will-be-directly-transferred-to-evin-prison/ Edited October 18, 2022 by ____ 1 Quote
