A Top Female Iranian Chess Player Takes Part In The World Rapid Chess Championship Without a Hijab
Iranian chess player Sara Khadem took part in the FIDE World Rapid Chess Championship in Almaty, Kazakhstan. On December 28, she played the second day of the tournament without mandatory hijab.
For Iranian women and girls above the age of 9, the hijab is compulsory in public under Iran’s dress code. She is the latest athlete to compete in a competition without hijab since anti-government protests erupted in September. Iranians protested against the country’s clerical leadership since 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in the custody of morality police who detained her for wearing a hijab improperly.
Sara Khadem, also known as Sarasadat Khademalsharieh, born in 1997, is the number 10 ranked player in Iran. In the World Rapid Chess Championship, Khadem played the women tournament as the 10th seed. After eleven rounds, she placed 34th out of 98 women.
