as that what Iran wants
Talented Lady Climber




[An Instagram story posted
on Rekabi's account described
her as "unintentionally" not wearing
her hijab and claimed she
was rushed - although she appears
relaxed in footage.]


[Concerns are mounting for an Iranian
climber who took part in an
international competition without a hijab.
Elnaz Rekabi, 33, could have been forced
to leave the Asian Championships in
South Korea early and faces being
arrested and immediately transferred
to prison when she returns home,
according to reports denied by Tehran.

Wearing a hijab is mandatory for women
in Iran - a rule which has sparked growing
demonstrations over the last month.

The Iranian Embassy in South Korea said
Rekabi left Seoul on a flight on Tuesday morning.

However, her passport and mobile phone are
believed to have been seized, an "informed source"
is said to have told journalists.

Her flight is said to have been
unexpectedly pushed forward
from Wednesday, according to
the BBC's Persian service.]
