Elnaz Rekabi, an Iranian rock climber who represented her nation at an international competition in South Korea without donning a hijab, left for home early on Tuesday morning out of concern that she might face legal action when she got there. Ms. Rekabi, 33, participated in the Asian Sport Climbing Championships on Sunday in Seoul without a headscarf in blatant defiance of the Iranian government. She was quickly reported missing. The Telegraph (UK) reported that Ms. Rekabi’s acquaintances have been unable to reach her since Sunday.Her passport and cellphone, according to “well-informed sources” cited by the BBC, were seized. Ms. Rekabi placed fourth in the climbing competition, but her choice to forgo the hijab was widely publicised as a protest against the Iranian government. The “misinformation” surrounding Ms. Rekabi was harshly denounced by the Iranian embassy in South Korea. “Along with the other Team members, Ms. Elnaz REKABI left Seoul early on October 18, 2022, for Iran.  The Iranian Embassy in South Korea vehemently refutes any untrue reports and misinformation against Ms. Elnaz REKABI “The Seoul-based Iranian embassy tweeted. Today, Ms. Rekabi posted on social media that the “issue” with her hijab during the competition occurred “unintentionally.”  Additionally, the athlete “expressed regret to the Iranian people” for the incident. Widespread demonstrations have taken place all around Iran as a result of Mahsa Amini’s death, who was purportedly tortured to death by Iran’s morality police. In retaliation for Ms. Amini’s passing and the ruthless suppression of protesters, the European Union imposed sanctions on Iran’s morality police and other security personnel on Monday. Over a hundred protesters have died in conflicts with law enforcement. The Iranian minister in charge of internet censorship and the Revolutionary Guards’ cyber section has also been sanctioned by the EU.
