She is also reported to have posted photos of herself without the hijab on her Instagram page, which is mandatory under Iran's strict dress code. I am not allowed to leave Iran, Janbaz wrote on Instagram yesterday, according to Iranwire.

Janbaz represented Iran's women's national team before announcing her retirement last September due to the death of Mahsa Amini. Amini was arrested in Iran for not wearing the hijab before he died in custody after falling into a coma. The death of a 22-year-old man led thousands of Iranians to take to the streets to demonstrate against the government, and more than 500 protesters were reportedly killed by security forces.

Prominent Iranian football player Ali Daei was also not allowed to leave the country due to his support for the protests, according to Iranian news agency ISNA. Daei, who scored 109 goals for Iran, was scheduled to attend the FIFA Best Football Awards on 27 February in Switzerland but was denied due to a travel ban imposed by Iranian authorities.

In January, Iranian national karate champion Mohammad Mehdi Karami was among four people executed for taking part in protests against the regime. He was arrested in connection with the alleged killing of a paramilitary member in Karaj in November and was later charged with a capital offense.

Recently, there have also been concerns about the safety of female athletes who have chosen not to wear the hijab in international competitions. Chess player Sarah Khadem reportedly arrived in Spain after being urged not to return home after she was photographed without a head covering while competing in the International Chess Federation's World Rapid and Blitz Championships in the Kazakh city of Almaty.

Sport climber Elnaz Rekabi also competed without a hijab during the Asian Championships in the South Korean capital Seoul in November 2022, and it was reported that she was subsequently placed under house arrest and her family villa was demolished.

Earlier this month, the National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran (NOCIRI) was called to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for a meeting in Lausanne amid serious concerns over the welfare of athletes and discrimination in sports.

IOC President Thomas Bach urged NOCIRI to ensure full compliance with the Olympic Charter and requested a written report on all issues raised at the meeting. Once the report is received, the IOC NOC Liaison Office is expected to present its findings at the next Executive Council meeting scheduled for March.
