Iranian athlete Elnaz Rekabi returns home amid 'missing' claims after competing without hijab

Iranian athlete Elnaz Rekabi returned home safely on Tuesday amid claims that she went 'missing' after competing without wearing a hijab (headscarf) during the finals of the Asian Climbing Competitions in Seoul, the capital of South Korea.

People thought that Rekabi defied the country's diktat for female athletes and ditched the mandatory hijab to extend her support to women protesters amid protests in Iran. However, she said that her veil had fallen by mistake while she was competing in an international event in Seoul.

Her footage of competing without wearing a hijab came amid protests in the country after the death of a 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman in police custody following her arrest by the morality police over her improper Hijab.

Amini was arrested by Iranian morality police in Tehran, the capital of Iran, on September 13 for allegedly not complying with the country’s strict dress codes that require women to cover their heads. The police reportedly took Amini to a detention centre for a “re-education lesson” on Hijab and modest clothing. However, she collapsed at the detention centre. She was taken to the hospital. However, the doctors pronounced her dead three days later.

Amini’s family and cousin said that she was assaulted at the detention centre. Amini’s cousin from Iraq also said that she died after a "violent blow to the head.” Amini’s family claimed that Iranian morality police hit her in the head with a baton and she lost consciousness. However, Iran’s Forensic Organisation said in an official medical report that “Amini’s death was not caused by blows to the head.” Iranian authorities claimed that she died from pre-existing medical conditions.

The protests erupted across Iran a month ago. However, people haven't stopped their protests even after the violent crackdown on protests by the security forces.

“Iraq is Utilizing What They Have Right Now”

It’s about how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment. Aside from Iran, there is insignificant territorial interest in Iraq's private area. Tehran's interest in Iraq has not given remarkable monetary advantages, for the most part because of authorizations.
