After yesterday’s decision of FIVB, Iran’s governing body stated that they are surprised and this ban they rated as unfair!

An Iranian judiciary official surprised the volleyball world by denying that Ghavami was sentenced to jail, saying her trial has not yet been finished.

Ghavami was detained on June 20 at Azadi (“Freedom” in Farsi) Stadium where Iran’s national volleyball team was to play Italy, after female fans and even women journalists were told they would not be allowed to attend, leading to a brief demonstration.

She was released within hours but was rearrested days later at a police station she had visited to reclaim items confiscated from her near the stadium.

But the president of Iran’s volleyball federation said he had yet to receive any official confirmation of a FIVB ban.

We haven’t received any letter from the FIVB concerning the change of host nation” for the tournament, Mohammad Reza Davarzani, reports therakyatpost.com.

We have had no official announcement on the decision to ban Iran from organising international competitions. If that is the case we will file an official complaint,” he added.
