A feminine Iranian climber who competed along with her hair uncovered did so as a result of her hijab fell off “inadvertently”, a submit on her Instagram account says.
Elnaz Rekabi, 33, was praised by these protesting in opposition to Iran’s gown code after video emerged of her on the Asian Championships in South Korea on Sunday.
BBC Persian reported on Monday that mates had been unable to contact her.
On Tuesday, the Instagram submit apologised for “getting everyone fearful” and stated she was flying house.
Iranian regulation states that ladies should put on a hijab when collaborating in sporting occasions.
