The woman set herself alight in Iran after her trial, for attempting to enter a football stadium disguised as a man, was postponed. While the sporting ban is not written into law, it is "ruthlessly enforced", says Human Rights Watch. Football's governing body Fifa set a deadline of 31 a week ago for Tehran to allow women into stadiums - something the country has not yet guaranteed.
