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.
Conservatism is a global plague of oppression and death. There is no place for hate-based ideologies like conservatism in a modern civilization.
Literally, yes.
Here’s a great mini comic that explains that paradox I picked up a while ago:
Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word.
It hurts to think about the timelines that could have been.
they still had the same religion. the US bringing down a democratically elected government to install their own puppet resulted in a far right campaign gaining ground. you give people enough grievances, fascism will take hold. this is america’s doing.
The revolution was originally broadly based. But the fundamentalist church had deep local roots while the progressive reformers still held ties to Western industry and finance.
When the US started imposing harsh sanctions on Iran, in response to the revolt, we bankrupted the liberals and left power to the hands of conservative nationalists.
We achieved similar results in Cuba, Venezuela, Vietnam, and North Korea. By dropping the economic hammer on the most moderate people in the region, we forced the country’s leadership towards the extremes.
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.

Or simply oppressive governments and religions are fundamentally the same
Everybody loves that picture of kids in nice 70s outfits living a cloistered upper class existence under a brutal dictatorship.
Nobody really likes posting the pictures of rioting and police brutality happening during the same time.
Meanwhile next door Iraq is attempting to lower the marriage age to 9.
Yeah fuck religion.
The Islamic prophet Muhammad married a 9-year-old girl. Since he was holy, or whatever, he waited until she was 10 to fuck her.
Close, but incorrect.
The prophet Muhammad married his wife Aisha when she was 6 years old.
He started raping her when she was 9. They call it “consummation”.
hey lets not get specifically islamophobic. every single horrible thing the worst muslims are trying to do over there, the worst christians are doing over here. every. single. fucking. one.
and the worst muslims aren’t even jacking it to the apocalypse.
Fuck the morality police.
This is so sad and should not have happened
