A 17-member team of Afghan immigrants in Iran has successfully scaled Damavand, the highest peak in Iran, dedicating their achievement to Afghan girls and women who have been denied access to education and sports.
This marks the team's second climb of the year.
The group, consisting of 11 men and six women, reached the 5,671-meter summit of Damavand, the tallest volcanic peak in the Middle East, after a two-day ascent.
The climb was conducted under the guidance of Baqer Sharifi and Ahmad Hosseini, with oversight from Mohammad Valizadeh, the head of mountaineering teams for Afghan immigrants in Iran.
The climbers carried the message "Education and sports are the right of Afghan women," underscoring their solidarity with those who have been deprived of these fundamental rights in Afghanistan.
