Lawyer: Iranian-British woman gets year in prison for trying to watch volleyball game
TEHRAN -- An Iranian-British woman detained while trying to attend a men's volleyball game has been sentenced to one year in prison, her lawyer said Sunday.
Mahmoud Alizadeh Tabatabaei told The Associated Press that a court found Ghoncheh Ghavami, 25, guilty of "propagating against the ruling system."
Tabatabaei said he was shown the text of the verdict but is still waiting to officially receive it. He declined to immediately comment further.
