Triest: Iraans meisje steekt zichzelf in brand nadat ayatollahs 6 maanden celstraf eisen voor 'kijken naar voetbal'

"An Iranian woman has set herself on fire outside a court in Tehran after being tried for resisting arrest by morality police for trying to enter a football stadium disguised as a male spectator.

According to Rokna news agency, the woman, named only as Sahar, has been taken to a local hospital with life-threatening burns.

A spokesperson for Iran’s judiciary has said the woman “had been engaged in a physical confrontation with security forces in February" after resisting arrest on charges of and insulting police and bad-hejabi, refusing to abide by strict Muslim dress codes.

Ahead of a court hearing on Monday she says she was told by a source that she faces six months in prison. She asked the judge to postpone her trial so she could attend a funeral. When she came out of the building she set herself on fire in front of the usually crowded complex that houses several courts."
