Iranian Woman Expelled From National Team for Non-Veiled Playing In Gibraltar

"The first step in dealing with them would be to deprive them from every game that is played in Iran and in the name of Iran, and they will not have the chance to be on the national team."--Mehrdad Pahlevanzadeh, head of the Iranian Chess Federation

"Them" includes her brother who also played in Gibraltar. Brother and sister both entered and played the tournament as individuals, on their own.
