Family House Of Iranian Climber Rekabi "Destroyed"

TL;DR

Iranian rock climber Elnaz Rekabi made the headlines in October after she appeared at an international competition in South Korea without a hijab, a move seen by many as a gesture of support for the anti-government protests that have swept Iran for weeks.Elnaz’s brother, Davood, posted a photo on social media showing the destroyed garden, and asked "Where are you, justice?”"Whatever [life] gives us, we accept it, whether it is grief, happiness, bitterness or poison," he also wrote.Elnaz repeated what had previously been said in a post published on her Instagram account -- that she had forgotten to wear a hijab.The National Olympic Committee and the minister of sports told Elnaz that “her family’s land would be confiscated if she leaves the country, gives interviews to the media or starts sensitive activities on his social pages,” a source told IranWire at the time, adding that the family’s property was worth $300,000.Before heading to Seoul, Rekabi was required to hand over a $35,000 cheque and grant full power of attorney to Iran’s climbing federation to sell her family's property as a guarantee she would come back."
