NCRI – The Iranian regime’s judiciary has filed new charges against the Iranian-British woman arrested in June for trying to attend a men’s volleyball match.
The state-run ISNA news agency quoted a statement by the Tehran prosecutor's office as saying Ghoncheh Ghavami was active in opposition protests against the ruling establishment abroad, and was in contact with foreign satellite channels.

Earlier in November, her lawyer said that a court sentenced Ghavami, 25, to one year in prison after finding her guilty of "propagating against the ruling system."
Women are also banned from attending football matches in Iran.
The International Federation of Volleyball (FIVB) sanctioned Iran on November 9 from hosting international events for as long as women are not allowed to watch games.
The announcement from FIVB comes a week Ghavami was jailed for five months after being arrested in Tehran for trying to attend a volleyball match.

A spokesman for the international federation told AFP that the FIVB will "not give Iran the right to host any future FIVB directly controlled events such as World Championships, especially under age, until the ban on women attending volleyball matches is lifted".
"This does not include other volleyball tournaments or next year's World League tournament because the fixtures are already confirmed," the spokesman added.
The secretary general of the Iranian federation has confirmed that the FIVB had already informed Iran it would be able to organize the under-19 championships in 2015.
