PARIS – Human rights advocates believed that the statements Annaz Rakabi had made in front of the press and on social media may have been extracted under duress after she twice gave her “apologies,” claiming that her veil had accidentally fallen.
On Friday, a non -governmental human rights organization called for the protection of Iranian sports, Annaz Rakabi, who returned to Tehran after participating in a South Korean competition without a veil.
The participation of the 33 -year -old sport in the Asian climbing championship, led by Rabat (Pandana) only, was interpreted as a sign of solidarity with the demonstrations that erupted in Iran on September 16 in protest against the death of the young Iranian Kurdish, Muhsa Amini.
Because of her disregard for the stringent dress codes of the Islamic Republic, particularly the wearing of the veil, she passed away three days after being detained in Tehran at the hands of the Ethics Police.
The International Federation of Crusher was urged to “engage with human rights organisations to defend the rider and all Iranian athletes” by the “Human Rights” centre, which has its headquarters in New York.
The centre posted on Twitter, “The Iranian government is infamous for the policy of arrests, deception, and assassination against its opponents.”
After returning from Seoul to Tehran, where her fans greeted her as a hero at the airport, Illus Rakabi was no longer at her home and had made “forced confessions,” the Persian-based BBC channel made an announcement in London.
Until she met with Sports Minister Hamid Sajadi, I was held in the National Olympic Academy under the surveillance of officers dressed in civilian clothing, according to the Persian BBC. It was put under home arrest, the source claimed.
Rakabi was put under house arrest, according to the Persian BBC and the similarly Persian-based “Iran International” programme.
“Iran International” added that it had been suspended and had had its phone seized in Zanjan, which is northwest of Tehran.
This information couldn’t be readily verified.
According to the Persian BBC, if the athlete does not “indicate these confessions,” her family’s property worth $312,000 will be seized.
The news website “Iran Wayr” said that Illiz Rakabi went to the Iranian embassy in Seoul after “the director” of the Iranian climbing federation, who promised her a safe return to Iran if she delivered her phone and passport.
After the warm greeting she received upon her return to Tehran on Wednesday, the Iranian closer praised her supporters both from home and abroad.
Rakabi demonstrated his satisfaction with the finals of an Asian competition by putting a gang on the head, which I explained as showing support for the Iranian protests that have been going on since Muhsa Amini, a young woman, died after being arrested by the Ethics Police for breaking the strict dress code, resulted in her death.
A Rakabi’s action violated the standards of dress that Iranian women ought to follow when competing in outside events, especially the complete covering of the head.
Iranian sports commentary was collected under duress, say human rights campaigners
