A case of a woman being shot for not wearing a hijab has come to light in Iran. According to reports, on July 22, the police tried to stop the car of a woman for not wearing a hijab. When she tried to drive away, the police shot at the woman.
The woman’s name is Areju Badri, who is 31 years old. She is a mother of 2 children. The woman injured by the bullet was admitted to the hospital. She is currently paralyzed.
On the other hand, the police said that the patrolling officers had ordered the woman to stop the vehicle, but she did not do so. However, the police has not mentioned anything about not wearing hijab in its statement.
Hadi Ghaemi, executive director of the Center for Human Rights in Iran, said on the incident, “Not wearing a hijab has been made the most serious crime in Iran. Where the police are allowed to shoot and kill. This is really like a war against women.”

NGO said- an alert was put on Areju’s car
An Iranian NGO has claimed that the woman must have been seen without a hijab even before the incident. After this, an alert was put on her car.
Officers first shot at the tires of Areju’s car. While Areju was driving, police returned fire on the car. The bullet pierced his lung and injured his spinal cord.
