The campaign to allow women into Iranian football stadiums

We remember the life of Sahar Khodayari, a passionate supporter of the Iranian football team who fatally set herself alight in Tehran after her trial for attempting to enter a football stadium, disguised as a man, was postponed.

We speak to Maryam Shojaei as she continues to campaign after Sahar's tragic death.
