Newsnight spoke to Ghoncheh Ghavami's brother, Iman in September
A British-Iranian woman detained in Iran after trying to watch a men's volleyball match has been sentenced to a year in prison, her lawyer says.
Ghoncheh Ghavami, 25, was found guilty of spreading anti-regime propaganda, lawyer Alizadeh Tabatabaie said.
Iran banned women from volleyball games in 2012, extending a long-standing ban on football matches.
The Iranian authorities have argued that women need protection from the lewd behaviour of male fans.
Amnesty International has described Ms Ghavami as a prisoner of conscience, and called for her immediate release. More than 700,000 people have signed an online petition urging the authorities to free her.
Ms Ghavami was part of a group of women who tried to watch Iran play Italy in a match on 20 June.
The women were arrested and allegedly beaten before being freed.
Ms Ghavami was rearrested later and subsequently put on trial. She launched a hunger strike in October after being held in isolation cells.
The UK Foreign Office said at the time it was aware of reports of a Briton being detained but said it had limited ability to help UK citizens in Iran.
