TEHRAN: An Iranian football fan who set herself ablaze and died after being arrested for trying to enter a stadium had"confessed her mistake" when she was questioned, the judiciary said Saturday .
Iranian women spectators have been barred from football and other stadiums in the Islamic republic since 1981, despite international pressure to let them attend. Esmaili, who was quoted by the judiciary's Mizan Online website, said no sentence had been issued against her since there had been no trial to begin with.
Despite the boycott calls following her death, Khodayari's father told Mehr news agency that she did not"sacrifice" herself for any cause.
