GENEVA : Iranian chess referee Shohreh Bayat says a gesture of solidarity with female compatriots at a tournament in Iceland has caused a feud with the game's global body and seen her kicked off a commission.
"This is a big human rights matter. I think if we stay quiet about these things, we cannot forgive ourselves," she added. FIDE confirmed Dvorkovich had requested she not wear the shirt about women's rights. The federation said it respected Bayat's political activities but that she"disregarded direct instructions given to her to stop wearing slogans or mottos."
"Iran and Russia are very united in the war against Ukraine," she said."When I was told by Dvorkovich to take off my T-shirt, that was the reason probably. Bayat lives in London, fearing for her safety after photos of her at the 2020 tournament in Russia brought criticism in Iranian state media.
