TEHRAN: Iran‘s sports minister Kioumars Hashemi has sacked the country’s deaf sports federation chief after pictures emerged of a foreign woman athletewithout a compulsory headscarf at a tournament, local media said. Mehran Tishehgaran was removed from his position “due to events that happened in the Asian Deaf Athletics Championships,” the ISNA news agency reported late on Monday.
Iranian media has in recent days published images of a woman athlete wearing shorts and a tight tank top at the Sunday-Monday tournament in Tehran. Tishehgaran said men and women did not mix during the competition. “Only women were present in that area and the security officials collected all the cameras and mobile phones,” he said in an interview with the Fars news agency. Tishehgaran added that images of the athlete were taken by her team from Kazakhstan.
