TEHRAN: Iran's judiciary has been asked to investigate the death of a woman football fan, state media said on Tuesday , after she reportedly self-immolated because she feared imprisonment for trying to enter a stadium.
The judiciary's Mizan Online website said on Tuesday that no sentence had been issued since there had been no trial and the judge was away on holiday. "The women of our land are better than men," he wrote alongside an image of a woman with a football for a heart and flames over her head."The tragic death of our beloved child, Ms Sahar Khodayari, has caused much sadness and regret for Esteghlal FC," it said in a statement.
Iran has come under pressure from FIFA to allow women to attend qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup, reportedly giving it a deadline of Aug 31.
