          Iranian-British Woman Volleyball Protester Released on Bail

   by VOA News

   Iranian authorities have granted bail to a British-Iranian woman jailed
   earlier this month for trying to attend a men's volleyball match
   despite laws banning women from men's sporting events.

   Family members of 25-year-old Ghoncheh Ghavami say she was released on
   bail Sunday ahead of an appeal.

   Ghavami was detained in June after trying to attend a men's volleyball
   match between Iran and Italy.

   On November 2, a Tehran court sentenced her to one year in jail for
   propagating against the ruling system.

   Ghavami is reported to be staying with her family in Tehran until the
   court of appeal rules on her sentence.
