Tehran, June 16, The Iran Project � No new decision has been made about women attending sporting events, Iran�s Interior Minister announced on Tuesday.

�No new decision has been made about women�s attendance at sports stadiums,� Iran�s Interior Minister, Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli told the reporters on the sidelines of a meeting of the country�s election headquarters on Tuesday.

However, Last week, Iran�s vice president for women and family affairs, Shahindokht Molaverdi, said only �a limited number of women, mainly families of national team players,� would be allowed to attend the upcoming volleyball matches in Tehran.

But, Spokesman Brigadier General Saeed Montazer al-Mahdi said recently that women�s entry into sporting arenas remains illegal�and a conservative group staged a protest over women�s attendance a few days ago in spite of the Government Spokesman�s remarks about the illegality of any rally against the issue.
