FIFA PRESIDENT GUEST OF HONOUR AS IRAN DETAINS 35 WOMEN FOR GOING OUT TO WATCH A FOOTBALL GAME

35 women were said to have been arrested in Iran for going to watch a football game in which the president of FIFA Gianni Infantino and the Iranian Sports Minister, Masoud Soltanifar were in attendance.

The group of women tried to go to the game in Tehran between Esteqlal and Perespolis where they were held by and transferred to what the Iranian Interior Ministry spokerman Seyyed Salman Samani described as a “proper place” by police.

A live broadcast was hastily taken off the air when a journalist asked the Sports Minister, Soltanifar when women will be allowed to attend games in Iran.

This is another extreme case of Gender Inequality.
