Description
From France, where she has been living for more than four years, the young Franco-Iranian chess prodigy Mitra Hejazipour makes no secret of her concern on the first anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini, who had been arrested for allegedly violating Iran's dress code. "I don't think the regime will ever give up because the hijab is the basis of the Iranian Islamic regime," she says. But the woman who was expelled from the Iranian Chess Federation for refusing to wear a headscarf wants to remain hopeful. "They can't kill everyone, they can't imprison everyone."
