Worry grows for a female Iranian athlete who climbed without a hijab

A woman in the Cypriot capital of Nicosia watches a video of Iranian climber Elnaz Rekabi competing without a hijab at an international climbing competition in Seoul, South Korea.

Media reports warned she may have been forced by Iranian officials to leave early from a competition in South Korea and could face arrest back home, which Tehran quickly denied.
