Olympic officials reportedly attempted to remove an Iranian woman from a men's volleyball match Saturday in Rio de Janeiro because she was holding a sign that said, "Let Iranian women enter their stadiums," and wearing a shirt bearing the same phrase, according to Janie McCauley of the Associated Press.
The fan, Darya Safai, described the situation, per McCauley:
They said they didn't want the sign in front of the cameras and they asked us to leave. They even tried to impress me with military people. I think it is a pity they always listen to what the regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran says.
