Iranian female football fan who self-immolated outside court dies

An Iranian female football fan has died a week after setting herself on fire outside a courtroom, after learning she may face six months in prison for trying to enter a stadium, a news agency reported on Tuesday.

guardian Yep, in a way we are all responsible. But correcting society's treatment of women, entrenched in many cultures over 1000s of yrs+, takes a long time. Pls tell me how I, a septuagenarian Canadian, can personally change Iran to allow women to attend ⚽footie games?

Such horrifying news in a week in which we’ve celebrated record attendances in the FAWSL. How can it be possible in any culture for it to be illegal for women to watch football?

I often wonder if Muslim men fear women

Islam

There is a message for FIFAcom in this tragedic story. FIFA should do whatever it takes to force Islamic regime of Iran to lift the ban agains female fans of footbal in Iran, even if it means suspension of Iranian football federation. FIFAEnforceEqualityInIran

FIFAcom must ban Iran sport .

'facing prison for trying to enter stadium'? Women is not allowed to enter a stadium

That's the bad thing about self-immolation: people rarely die in the flames but after days of misery and extreme pain in the hospital.

RIP
