Reports say athlete who competed in South Korea not wearing headscarf pressured into forced confession'

The Iranian climber who received a hero's welcome on her return to Tehran after competing in South Korea without wearing a headscarf has reportedly been placed under house arrest.

Elnaz Rekabi competed last weekend in South Korea without wearing a headscarf, which is mandatory in Iran and a subject of nationwide protests after the death of Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by the country's notorious morality police.
