The Iranian climber who received a hero’s welcome on her return to Tehran after competing in South Korea without wearing a headscarf has reportedly been placed under house arrest.
Elnaz Rekabi competed last weekend in South Korea without wearing a headscarf, which is mandatory in Iran and a subject of nationwide protests after the death of Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by the country’s notorious morality police.
The moment of her death was captured by her own mobile. #GhazalehChelabi 32 Yr old woman was shouting “don’t be scared, we are all together” & recording the protest over the murder of #MahsaAmini when she was shot by the security forces on Amol city in Iran.
