Sara Khadem, an Iranian Chess player, arrived in Spain on Tuesday after receiving warnings not to return to Iran. The reason for the warnings is Khadem competing at international tournament in Kazakhstan without wearing a Hijab, a source close to her said, Reuters reported. The 25-year-old Chess player took part in last week’s FIDE World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships in Almaty without the hijab.
