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.
Could we actually stay at least somewhat on topic?
The topic is being shot by police for no reason.
The western propaganda is that it is a horror when it happens elsewhere like Iran. It’s just a Tuesday when it happens every fcking day in the USA.
If you don’t see the topics are the same, you’re brainwashed.
But we’re talking about Iran and it’s horrible religion and religious oppression, not the US and it’s dumpster fire of issues.
This has nothing to do with religious oppression. It is bad policing. The US is as much a theocracy, a Christian theocracy, as Iran is.
Which one would you rather live in? Or would rather your sister/gf/wife live in?
100% middle East.
And I practice what I preach unlike most of you keyboard warriors that don’t even a passport. The other side of the planet is NOTHING like you portray in your propagandist media. And you’re all too brainwashed to even look for yourselves.
Good one
