A mother of two has been left paraplegic after being shot by Iranian police over an alleged violation of the country’s strict hijab rules, a source with knowledge of the case has told the BBC.
“She is paralysed from the waist down, and doctors have said it will take months to determine whether she will be permanently paraplegic or not.”
Arezoo Badri, 31, was driving home with her sister in the northern city of Noor on 22 July when police attempted to pull her over to confiscate her car.
The driver did not comply with the order to stop, prompting the officers to shoot, the police commander in Noor told Iran’s state-run news agency, without naming Ms Badri.
The incident comes after Iranian police announced a clampdown on women defying the nation’s compulsory dress code.
It has nothing to do with religion. Read up on Project Ajax. The modern theocracy of Iran is a direct consequence of British and CIA undermining the democratic government of Iran and installing a puppet dictator.
