A British woman has been locked up in a notorious jail in Iran – for trying to watch a men's volleyball match. Ghoncheh Ghavami, 25, was arrested and taken to Tehran's Evin jail a few days after attempting to watch a volleyball match between Iran and Italy on June 20.
She has spent 41 days in solitary confinement, according to her family.
Ms Ghavami went to the Azadi Stadium – which ironically means 'freedom' - with other women to protest against Iran's stricture, introduced after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, forbidding females to attend male sporting events
