Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez says he’s been inspired by Iranian chess player Sara Khadem, who recently took part in an international tournament without a hijab. According to Reuters, Khadem, also known as Sarasadat Khademalsharieh, has defected to Spain over fears of returning to Iran. On Wednesday, Sánchez posted pictures on Twitter of the pair playing chess during a meeting in Madrid. Khadem is pictured not wearing a hijab.

In October, Iranian climber Elnaz Rekabi competed in South Korea without her mandatory hijab on, later saying it had fallen off accidentally. However, it is unclear whether Rekabi’s comments were made under duress. In November, Iranian archer Parmida Ghasemi demonstrated her support for anti-government protests by removing her hijab during an awards ceremony in Tehran, later saying she did not notice it falling off.
